New York Members of Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car Porters Astounded When Roy Lancaster Loses Position Had Been Secretary-Treasurer Since Founding of Organization, Headed By Randolph, and Was Largely Responsible For Its Growth Pullman porters attached to the New York districts were astounded when the announcement came, following the second annual session of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, held in St. Louis September 15 and 16, that Roy Lancaster had been supplanted as general secretary-treasurer by the election of Ashley L. Totten, who had been first vice-president. Alderman Fred R. Moore of the 19th A D, because of the vital importance of this line of transportation to the people of Hatlem, requested Joseph V. McKeen, president of the Board of Aldermen, to give his views on the proposed removal President McKeen, under date of September 18, wrote Alderman Moore, citing five reasons why he opposed the proposed demolition of the 60th avenue elevated line. His main reason was the fact that 150,000 people annually use this line to reach their homes in Hatlem and the Bronx, and that no other means of transportation is available for this great mass of hardworking men and women. Pres. McKae's Letter His letter to Alderman Moore read, as follows. September 18, 1930. My dear Alderman You have asked me my views regarding the demolition of the existing Sixth Avenue elevated line from Trinity place to 33rd street. I will be able to give them you. I am opposed at this time to the removal of this artery of rapid transit. I have several reason in support of this. Would Inconvience Thousands First The removal of this elevated would cause inconvenience to thousands of people who live in Harlem and the Bronx. Reports indicate that this line is used annually by about 104,000,000 people. About 15,000,000 people annually use this line as a means for reaching their homes in Harlem and the Bronx. If it were to be taken down, there would be no other means available for this great mass of hardworking men and women to (Continued on Page Nine) New York Member Of Sleeping Car H When Roy Lanca Had Been Secretary-Tri of Organization, Head Was Largely Respon Pullman porters attach tricts were astounded when following the second annu hood of Sleeping Car Portember 15 and 16, that Ro planted as general secretar of Ashley L.

According to report, there has been a converted effort by certain individuals of the organization who were unfriendly to Mr. Lancaster to locate opposition to the proposal that his removal could be brought about. Succeeded by A. L. Totten At St. Louis session, it is reported there were fourteen detainees present, with proxies Philip Randolph of New York and general organizer M. P. Webster of Chicago.

Rivers received the highest vote in the September 16 nomination to nominate Republican candidates for the magistracy in the newly created 10th Municipal Court District. The report gives Mr. Rivers 3,185 votes, 625 votes more than the next nominee, Alderman John Clifford Hawkins, who received 2,562. An unexpected development was shown in the votes cast for the two defeated independent candidates. Assemblyman Lamar Perkins, who was shown in the first returns as running behind Pone B. Billups, actually received a majority over Billups of 24 votes, the respective ballots being Perkins, 1,854: Billups. An unusual feature of the young vote was that the 1,690 blank ballots were cast. Another regretful disclosure was that 673 votes were so careless in marking their ballots as to void them. Including blank and void votes ther were 11,764 ballots cast in the six districts which make up, in part the 10th Municipal Court District The districts are the 11th, 13th, 17th 19th, 21st and 22nd. s of Brotherhood Porters Astoundedaster Loses Position reasurer Since Founding led By Randolph, andsible For Its Growth hed to the New York disn the announcement came, al session of the Brotherers, held in St. Louis Sepy Lancaster had been supy-treasurer by the election had been first vice-presi- give Tolten's name in the list of officers.

Was Efficient Officer Friends of Mr. Lancaster in New York, who are familiar with the workings of the Brotherhood, point out that much of the solid progress that has been made by the organization, particularly with respect to financial increment, has been due largely to Lancaster's efficient energy, and acumen, and that it was largely through his initiative that the present Brotherhood home at 239 West 130th street was acquired. When seen, Mr. Lancaster refused to make any criticism of the action taken at the convention, saying only that he hoped to have his desk cleared within a day or two, when he would immediately turn his office over to president Kendolph. Mr. Lancaster has been with the Brotherhood since its organization. NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1930. THE NEW STATION HOUSE, 32nd PRECINCT HARLEM BUTCHERS TO BE INSPECTED FOR BAD MEAT Investigation By Age Reporters Shows Meat Sold Is Poor Quality Harlem will get good meat and every store selling meat and poultry will be rigidly inspected as a result of complaints lodged with the Commissioner of Health, Dr Shirley W.

As soon as the purchase was made the chicken was taken to the Board of Health to undergo tests to determine whether or not it was good. An inspector looked the chicken once and said that while it was fit to eat the meat of very inferior grade. At the meeting Mr Moore man Moore sent a letter asking the cooperation of the Commissioner Wynne in giving Harlem only good meat. Under date of September 20, Commissioner Wynne replied to Mr Moore as follows: "I immediately upon receipt of your letter, I directed that an inspection be made of the poultry on sale at the establishment to which you called attention. "Recently; after a conference with representatives of retail butchers, in Harlem, at which it was stated that unbound meat and poultry were sold on Sundays, a special officer was assigned to the duty of inspecting butcher shops from 12th to 13th streets. As the result of a survey on Sunday, September 14th, a small quantity of unfit food was discovered, but on the whole the conditions found were satisfactory. "The Department will continue its Sunday inspection until it is convinced that the food offered for sale in this section of the city meets the requirements." CHAS. E. MITCHELL Chas. E.

Hyscainth picks up her doll, to which she plays mama, and seems to wonder what is all the fuss about. It is all because the little tot has returned from the Harlem Hospital with only a few brushes on her body caused by her falling three stories off the fire escape about eight days ago. She lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts Martin at 148 Lenox avenue. They had placed three boards over the fire escape, in order that Hyscainth would not fall through while playing. In some way one of the boards was displaced. After she had been there about two minutes her mother heard a peculiar mouse and ran to the window in time to see the child holding on to one of the iron bars beside her body dangled in the air. Before Mrs. Martin could get out of the window, the child lost her grasp and fell. NEW BURGLARY TRICK FAILS AND MAN LOSES MIND Used Phone to Get Elevator Job; Duped Tenants to Rob Apartments Theodore "Lewis, a Negro, forty years old, was taken to Bellevue hospital Sunday, suffering from a nervous break down which resulted from the break down of his "cop proof," burglary system. Lewis formerly was a fire-escape man; he entered apartments from fire escapes or porch windows, but after being arrested three times he invented his new system, one of the most ingenious ever devised. Lewis learned the name of a man or corporation which owned a building then passed himself off as a representative of the owner. He ordered the superintendent by telephone to dismiss the elevator operator and employ a new one who was on the way to the building. Lewis then would appear, as the new elevator boy, and take his place. Worked It Too Often: After learning the names of tenants he would telephone to one that a special delivery, package was being held for them at a nearby postal station. When the tenant left, the apartment Lewis would enter it and take what he could find. His most successful work was done at the flat of Mrs. Herbert Meyers at 536 West 111th street, where he obtained jewelry and clothing worth $1,600. The Lewis system was alright but he worked it too often. Detectives warned: apartment house owners against him. When Lewis appeared at an apartment house at 151 West 105th street Sunday, he found Detectives William May William Barrett and James Hennessy waiting for him. On discovering that what he considered the greatest burial scheme ever invented had failed him, Lewis was seized with hysteria and melanoma and was taken to Believe Hospital. The detectives computed that he had perpetrated fifty burialies since last April.

Efforts were made by her husband, William Roach, and several friends to have Mrs. Roach committed to Bellevue Hospital for observation prior to her being sentenced to prison, as it was thought that heavy financial burden and humiliation caused. This she refused to agree to, and so was sentenced August 8 by Judge Max Soloman in the Court of Special Sessions. Had Been Dispossessed the complainant in the case against Mrs. Roach was Elmer M. Stengler, a white real estate man, who lives at 35 Hillside avenue. Queens. He had her arrested last May for passing the worthless check. She was released in $500, bail by Magistrate McQuade and the case was postponed from time to time in order that she might make good When she failed to do this, the case was sent down town. While this case was pending, Mrs. Roach was dispossessed from her home at Edgecombe avenue and at stet street. The action following the dispossess caused her husband and friends to believe that she had become mentally unbalanced. Instead of securing another home, or a furnished room, she is reported to have spat her days and nights between July 15 and August 8 in the city parks, and refused several offers of friends to help her.

Brown, Pastor Metropolitan Baptist Church, Dies Of Heart Attack at Late Residence Was Aggressive Leader of One of Largest Congregations in New York, Emphasizing Value To Them Owning Their Own Property After fifty-two years of service as a Baptist minister, the Rev. Dr. Willis W. Brown, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, 128th street and Seventh avenue, died suddenly on Wednesday evening, September 17, at 7:50 o'clock, from a heart attack. Death occurred at his late home, 143 West 131st street. He was 71 years old. Dr. Brown had been in bad health for about thirty years, but had managed to attend to his pastoral duties with the assistance of his son, the Rev. W. Abner Brown, who is associate pastor of Metropolitan Church. His physical disability was incurred when, as a teenager, he strenuously winters weather and had a foot frozen. He had received treatment at Saratoga Springs, but received little benefit. Urgéd Property Buying Dr. Brown founded Metropolitan Church sixteen years ago with 200 members. The enrollment now is more than 3,000. He was always a strong advocate for property owning, and not only influenced the church, to buy valuable properties, but exerted himself among the members of his church to the extent that several hundred are now home owners. He organized among his members the 50 Per Cent Prof Sharing Co., starting with a capital of $30,000, which acquired in time ten apartment houses having an assessed value of $500,000. These properties were sold in 1919 to the Watt Terry Holding Co, Inc., 2380 Seventh avenue. Later, he organized the Progressive Commercial Association, which has assets of about $500,000, including a real estate business, a hardware sstore, and seven houses, all owned and controlled exclusively by Negroes. He was reputed to be individually wealthy. The Metropolitan Beneficial Society was another organization he sponsored. Had 15 Days Schooling Dr. Brown was born February 1, 1859, in Franklin, Va. the son of John and Susie Brown. His entire scholastic education consisted of fifteen days attendance in the Franklin school, but he has had the benefit of tutoring from well qualified teachers, one being a fellow pastor. Dr. George H. Sims, pastor of Union Baptist Church, this city Dr. Brown was given the degree of D. D.; in 1901 by Guadalupe College. Sequin, Texas. In his early youth, he engaged in farming, but entered the ministry at the age of 19. After several years of itinerant preaching, he was called to pastor High Street Baptist Church, Roanoke, Va., remaining there 13 years; then followed 14 years as pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Pittsburgh, Va., after which he came to New York and founded Metropolitan Church. Metropolitan was originally located on West 138th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenue where a crypt was erected. The edifice was never completed, as the congregation, eventually got possession of the present stately edifice at 128th street and Seventh avenue. This property, valued at $300,000 could not be purchased directly by Dr. Brown and his people, as the others did not want to sell to Negroes, but he arraigned the purchase through a white friend. The building was paid for in the remarkably short space of nine years. Sold Church To Garveyite The 188th street property was sold to Marcus Garvey, and he opened it for the U. N. I. A. as Rummage Sale For Katy Ferguson Home The House Committee of the Katy Ferguson Home For Unmarried Mothers is planning the usual Katy Ferguson Home Rumimage Sale to be held October 10, 11 and 13, at the home, 102 West 130th street, and are asking the public generally for contributions of clothing, hats, shoes and household articles.

Later, the lodge will erect an Elk's home on the center plot. Always interested in civic, political and economic affairs; Dr. Brown was always active in all movements that affected the Negro. His church gave thousands of dollars to foreign missions, and several missionaries were educated for service in the foreign fields. One of them was Dr. J. H. East, correspondent secretary, Foreign Mission Board. (Continued on Page Nine) BARBERSHOPS IN NEW CONFERENCE REDUCE PRICES 50 Cents Is New Price For Hair Cuts; Make Change In Hours The Harlem barbershops which belong to the Union have reduced their prices which they increased following the strike last month. The new price for haircuts will be 50 cents instead of 60 cents; the working-hours on weekdays will be from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. and on Saturdays from 9 a. m. to 11 p. m. The change in price and hours of working came as a result of a conference last week called by the Associated Master Barbers' Association to determine by what means the union barbershops could be helped out of the peculiar predicament in which they found themselves following the strike last month. Many of the Union shops were finding it difficult to maintain the wage scale in the face of such competition. Non-Union Shops Open In all sections of Harlem, shops outside of the Union were and are advertising haircuts for 40 cents and people flocked to these shops in preference to the Union shops where haircuts were 10 cents. In many of these shops where the low prices are prevailing union barbers are working in distance of the union, and efforts by union officials to call these men out of the shops have been of no avail. In a street where there is one union shop, it is not uncommon to find three or four non-union shops with big signs on the outside advertising the lower prices. As a last resort--for they were doing no business—the union boss, barbers have come to the agreement that from now on the price will be 30 cents for haircuts: SOCIETY, CLUB & FRATERNAL DOINGS Mr. and Mrs. A.

BROOKLYN, MANHATTAN, LONG ISLAND Passing of Alleged Counterfeit Bills Causes Friends to Fall Out And Ends With Serious Shooting Harry Gardner Taken to Hospital With Bullet Wound Over Heart After His Friend, Chas Robinson, Accepts Two Phony $20 Bills The alleged passing of two $20 bills on his friend, Charles Robinson of 61 West 131st street, who is employed as a bartender in a Lenox avenue speakeasy, by Harry Gardner of 870 St. Nicholas avenue, was the direct cause of Robinson firing a .45 calibre bullet into Gardner's body, just above the heart, on Wednesday morning, September 17. The shooting occurred in the barroom of another speakeasy at 2450 Seventh avenue, following a heated argument between the two men. The argument started when Robinson walked into the saloon, found Gardner there, with some friends, and refused to take a drink offered by one of the friends because of his feeling against Gardner. a long Colt .45 in his hand. He deliberately rested the gun on his left arm and pulled the trigger. Simultaneously with the report, Gardner grasped his left breast and turned, fleeing out of the back door. Robinson followed, as others in the scene drowned back gun of range. All save Blackman, who ensured to follow Gardner through the rear. Passed Counterfeit Bills The report is that some days ago Gardner went into the saloon where Robinson is employed and called for drinks for everybody in the place. After he had repeated this three times, Gardner tendered a $20 to Robinson in payment of his bill. Because of his confidence in Gardner, Robinson unhesitatingly accepted the bill and returned the proper change. Gardner then pulled out another bill of the same denomination asking Robinson to return it, but reminding Gardner that he had just received a lot of change, but When-Gardner stated that he wanted to attend to some money matters Robinson willingly made the change. But later, either when the owner of the saloon checked up the money in the cash register, or when he made the decision that the two bills were counterfeit. Robinson had to make good the $40 shortage. Failed to Adjust Matter Then because of his friendship for the man, he tried to adjust it with Gardner instead of reporting it to the police. It was his failure to accomplish this that engenderedutterness of feeling toward Gardner.When Robinson, on Wednesdaymorning, refused to drink becauseGardner was in the party, the latterwalked over to where Robinson was standing and urgedher to drink the drink.This action angered Robinson,and he protected to upbraid his former friend, using such stronglanguage in doing so that Gardner protested, saying that he Gardnercould not use this drink.Robinson this only unsecuredRobinson the more, and ledto him making the charge thatGardner had passed "phong" moneyon another friend. Ernest Blackmanof 2450 Seventh Avenue, whois bartender in a saloon furthera South avenue, at 140th or 141st street. Lost $40 Bet Gardner denied the charge and the argument became heated to the extent that the two men made a bet on the matter. The betting began when Gardner reached it reached $ each: The money was placed in the hands of "Dian" who runs a lunch counter in the saloon. Then the men went up to where Blackman took the money. Gardner had passed any bad money on him, thus casing Robinson to lose the second $40. After that, the men returned to 2450, Blackman with them. The adDITIONAL money the Gardner had passed to have preyed on his mind, bringing him to a desperate determination. In a few minutes he walked out of the saloon, saying nothing to anybody. The other men continued standing at the end of Shortly afterwards, Robinson returned. He walked to the middle of the bad, eyed Gardner for a second, then turned his back on the men, fumbling at his waistband. Aman standing near seemed to have surmised what was coming and yelled at him, saying, "Man, what are you doing Quit that foolishness." Gardner Shot By Robinson Robinson paid no heed, but turned again to face the group, with CORRECTION In reporting a "good Samaritan" act by Jumis M. Green in last week's issue of *The Ace*, he acted this week for the state of South Carolina of 213 West 190th street, was a former number's banker. This Mr. Smith denies, and also that his wife is sick and in despair circumstances, as was stated. Mrs Smith is in good health, and is now living in New Haven, Conn., states he was arrested. Mr. Smith was arrested a few weeks ago for giving a bad check to Walter Jolly, a garage owner. When the case was called in the Heights Court, and it appeared that Mr. Smith could not make good, the police said Mr. Green came forward and said it for him. a long Colt .45 in his hand. He deliberately rested the gun on his left arm and pailed the trigger. Simultaneously with the report, Gardner grasped his left breast and turned, sleeping out of the back door. He walked in behind the saloon dropped haack out of range. All save Blackman, who ensaw to follow Gardner through the rear exit as Robinson was trying to get through also. So Blackman fell with one bullet in his hip and another in his leg. His gun empired, Robinson walked through the saloon, out of the front door. He walked in his hand, where he coolly hailed a taxicab and ordered the chauffeur to drive to the West 130th street police station. Entering the station, he walked up to the desk, laid his gun down and told the lieutenant the building and shot two men on Seventh avenue. He was quickly taken into custody, while a host of reserves and plain clothes men piled out of the building and rushed to 240 Seventh avenue, where they found Robinson, where they found Robinson, who did not find the wounded man. Gardnera Physical Stamina , For not understanding that it was a most serious wound, Gardner had made his way out the street, with Blackman, and the two men had taken a taxicab up to 141st street, where Gardner's girl friend lives on a top floor, then had gutten eat and called to her from the pavement, telling her, "I've been shut down on down and take a look at the hospital" and "looking at the window, saw that Gardner's light hat was blooded on the brim, as though his bloody fingers had spotted it. He was taken to Harlem's Hospital with Blackman. The latter's wounds were found to be not serious, though painful, but Gardner was found to be badly wounded. Robinson is being held to await the outcome of Gardner's wounds. Scores of police officers investigated the shooting headed by Inspector McNeal. Flashback photographs of the saloon were taken by the employees of the saloon were held on charges of illegal possession of alcoholic liquors for the Federal court. Gardner Wanted by Police Additional information is to the effect that Gardner was released from the hospital on Saturday, and that now the police are looking for him for a crime he was wanted in that city on a charge which has not been stated. Another story is that Gardner had been in jail on the charge of passive counterfeit money, based on the Robinson incident and another, but that on real he was accrued beaten and not to have appeared against him.

A PRIMARY LESSON The result of the primary elections held last week, to nominate two candidates for the newly created municipal court in the Tenth Judicial district of Manhattan, demonstrated in no uncertain manner that the voters of Harlem are mastering the intricacies of civic government. While there were two independent candidates in the field, contesting the designations made by the Republican organization, the campaign was carried on without aud slinging or acrimonious debate. The good qualities of all the candidates received recognition and they polled a large enough vote to indicate the existence of independence of choice on the part of a minority of the enrolled voters. But the majority rolled up for the regularly designated candidates left no doubt as to their carrying the bulk of the party vote with them. The casting of the ballots was carried out in good order without any disturbances at the polls, and in such manner as to insure a full and free expression of the will of the enrolled members of the party. The election was pretty nearly a model of what a primary election should be and carried with it popular approval of the selections made by the party leaders. This is the logical result to be expected from any primary contest, unless some issue is raised arousing popular interest. As a rule primary elections are not regarded very seriously by the masses of the voters, although their results often determine the actual choice of elective officers. The only jarring note in the primary campaign was sounded by a disgruntled white office-seeker, who sent out cards to any of the enrolled voters printed as follows: The result of the primary elections held last week, to nominate two candidates for the newly created municipal court in the Tenth Judicial district of Manhattan, demonstrated in no uncertain manner that the voters of Harlem are mastering the intricacies of civic government.

The only jarring note in the primary campaign was sounded by a disgruntled white office-seeker, who sent out cards to many of the enrolled voters printed as follows: PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S WARNING "Always Defeat Judges Named by Political Bosses." Alderman Moore is an insulting and conceived BOSS. Eliminate his influence from JUDICIAL control. DEFEAT RIVERS his handpicked candidate. The result of the primary vote showed that this malicious and mendacious slur proved to be a political boomerang, the total vote given Rivers being much larger than that received by any of the other candidates. This was a deserved rebuke administered to a disturber of the political amenities that characterized the rest of the campaign. The general result was encouraging as indicating the progress made by the voters of Harlem in expressing their confidence in the leaders whom they have chosen and to whom they have ledged their support. All of the candidates are to be commended for the fairness and freedom from cheap trickery that have characterize their campaign, and which enabled the voters to make their choice solely on the merits and records of the individual candidates. One of the features of the primary which should receive careful scrutiny and attention by the leaders and workers, as the large number of blank and void ballots cast for the judges. When one out of nearly every five ballots cast moves to be either blank or void, there is necessity for some investigation as to the reason why an enrolled Republican either avoids making a choice of candidates or fails to mark his ballot properly. One election district, comprising nearly white voters, there were counted eighty ballots left blank in the column for a choice of judges. If these voters are good Republicans their district leader and election district captains should point to them the importance of making choice in the matter of new judges for the new municipal court, intended to serve their interests. As to the void ballots, which perhaps aggregated five percent of the total vote, they were largely due to blunders of the voters in indicating their choice. This is matter which could be corrected by a more intensive work on the part of the captains and workers in each election district.

This is a matter which could be corrected by a little more intensive work on the part of captains and workers in each election act. the whole, the voters of Harlem are congratulated on the smooth and harmonious workings of the primary elections in such a vigorous contest as that just held to nominate judges for the new court. It indicates that the average voter of the race is intelligent enough to express his choice clearly and to withstand the attempt of any disgruntled politician to becloud the issues. CALIFORNIA LEGION SCORES LYNCHING. The California Department of the American Legion, in its recent convention held in Sacramento, adopted a resolution calling upon the National Department of the Legion, to use its influence in stamping out lynching. The resolution adopted read as follows: The California Department of the American Legion, in its recent convention held in Sacramento, adopted a resolution calling upon the National Department of the Legion, to use its influence in stamping out lynching. The resolution adopted read as follows: Whereas, the practice of mob violence and lynching is increasing in such a way as to shake the very foundation of the American government, and Whereas, the commission of any act against society by any person or persons; at any time is repulsive to the progressive, thinking and law-abiding citizens, and Whereas, the practice of persons in nullifying and disregarding the constituted methods of deaths with crime and the meeting out of such punishment they see fit, even to the taking of lives of men, women and children, without due regard to their guilt or innocence, is mob violence and is a menace to the peace and security of its citizens, now therefore be it Resolved, that the American Legion, Department of California, in regular convention assembled, this 19th day of August, 1930, hereby calls upon the National Department of the American Legion at its Twelfth Annual Convention assembled at Boston, Massachusetts, to use its influence to destroy the menace of mob, violence in all of its phases, and to approve any measures tending to remove this blot from our daily life. This sentiment is in keeping with, the denunciation of lynching made by the Texas Free Mason, which called upon the order in that State to stand unalterably opposed to such vicious, ignorant violence, and supplements the excoration of lynching by the New York Daily Mirror as a form of moral perversion. It should seem that a resolution of this kind should be adopted by the National Department of the American Legion without debate. But it is well to consider that the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, composed of the Veterans of the Civil War, once known as the War of the Rebellion, refused to pass a similar resolution directed against lynching. The only reason given for this refusal was that such a resolution might give offence to their former opponents, the unreconstructed rebels of the South. That shows how far the surviving Union veterans have fallen behind the sentiments that carried them through the war to preserve the Union and to preserve human rights. The forces that are opposed to lynching, as a menace to the national peace and security, should get behind a movement to have Congress pass an anti-lynching measure.

INSURANCE AND JOBS. In an article entitled "Premium Income and Jobs." Harry H. Pace, well known as an authority on insurance, shows, why our people should patronize their own life insurance companies in preference to others. His statements, while startling as to amounts of income paid to white insurance companies are given as underestimated rather than overestimated. The result of this tabulation of the total premiums paid to nine white companies by colored policyholders during the year of 1929 was over sixty-seven million dollars. Out of the income created and maintained by these premium payments he asserted that not one job was given to colored people. On the other hand, Mr. Pace found that the total premium payments made to twelve colored companies by colored policyholders during the same period amounted to a little over thirteen million dollars. The total number of jobs created and maintained by these premium payments is stated as 5,451. It is assumed that all of these jobs are filled by colored people, which warrants the following conclusion drawn by Mr. Pace. In an article entitled "Premium Income and Jobs." Harry H.

The result of this tabulation of the total premiums paid to nine white companies by colored policyholdefs during the year of 1929 was over sixty-seven million dollars. Out of the income created and maintained by these premium payments he asserted that not one job was given to colored people On the other hand, Mr Pace found that the total premium payments made to twelve colored companies by colored policyholders during the same period amounted to a little over thirteen million dollars. The total number of jobs created and maintained by these premium payments is stated as 5,451. It is assumed that all of these jobs are filled by colored people, which warrants the following conclusion drawn by Mr Pace. Let us suppose that the $67,210,355 that went into the hands of white companies who refused to employ a single colored agent or clerk or stenographer had gone into the hands of those colored companies. This vast sum of money would have created jobs for at least 15,000 colored men and women who would have been employed as clerks, stenographers, agents and bookkeepers to take care of this additional business. In addition there would have been Millions of Dollars available for first mortgage loans on the property of colored people whereas not a one of these companies listed in the white group make a practice of lending money on property either owned or occupied by colored people This is a phase of the life insurance business that is not generally considered by the applicant who takes out a policy. In fact, when the matter of loans is taken into consideration, there are two phases of the insurance question hitherto ignored.

The conductors and guards on the Sixth avenue Elevated Road have been secur- THE NEW YORK-AGE signatures from passengers on the street during the last few weeks protested against any movement by the city to remove the structure. Most of the passengers willingly signed this protest, that a convenient and airy mode of transportation would be denied that before any adequate substitute had been provided. This seems to represent failure in the popular attitude against any removal of the elevated structure, in order to provide for the construction of a subway wiper over the avenue. Last week President McKee of the Board of Aldermen announced his operation to the projected removal of the structure, being the first city official to take his position clear on that subject. Mr. McKee does not believe that the Sixth Avenue subway will take place if the elevated road, even after the latter demolished, for the reason that it merely a branch of the Eighth Avenue subway, and he favors a suspension construction of the former road until the Eighth Avenue subway is completed and is carrying capacity tested. Other points raised by Mr. McKee against the removal of the elevated road are the matter of cost and who is paying the bill. The cost of the removal of the extension above Fifty-third street is not yet been settled, nor that of the Fort second street spur branch. The assumption that the adjacent property owner will have to pay the cost is not assured and the fact that the engineers are calling for the removal of the road on the ground of safety during construction of the subway, would weaken the case of the city attempting to assess the cost upon the property owners. A Brooklyn paper, in citing the example of the construction of the Full Street subway while the elevated road continued in full operation as an argument against this warning of the engineers, stated that perhaps the Brooklyn road being a later undertaking, might be a better construction than the Sixth avenue structure, which was one of the pioneer experiments in this mode of transportation.

TRICKY HARLEM RETAILERS. Investigation of a number of complaints coming to The Age office has shown the number of retail dealers in Harlem are frauduing their customers by selling them bad meat and poultry and rotut. These articles, which are unfit food, are not only a fraud on the bus but a direct menace to the health of the consuming them. In the interest of a number of complaints the office has shown that dealers in Harlem are customers by selling poultry and rotten les, which are unfit for a fraud on the buyer to the health of those In the interest of the and there ply p One City Act Look come ment. three condu wonder in the Thee Investigation of a number of complaints coming to The Age office has shown that a number of retail dealers in Harlem are defrauding their customers by selling them bad meat and poultry and rotten fruit. These articles, which are unfit for food, are not only a fraud on the buyer but a direct menace to the health of those consuming them. In the interest of the people of Harlem, whose healths and pockets are exploited and endangered in this brazen manner. The Age sent out several investigators who purchased meat and poultry at several of the places named as practicing this sort of fraud. The purchases were sent to the Department of Health for inspection and in many instances the complaints were verified. The Health Department, under Commissioner Wynne, has done much to improve sanitary conditions in Harlem and has established many reforms in the guarding of the physical welfare of its residents. This matter of the sale of bad food stuffs to ignorant or unwary purchasers is one of prime importance, which demands the most rigorous measures to prevent ill effects. Strict inspection of all places selling meat, poultry and fruit is necessary in order to stop the selling of articles unfit for food. Besides the damage done to the payer's pockethook, there is the greater peril to the health of the consumers involved in the consumption of unfit foods. There is also the practice of giving short weight on the part of some unscrupulous dealers, who do not hesitate to doctor their scales to the extent of allowing only fourteen ounces to the pound. This is another fraud on the customer, who pays for much more than he receives on every purchase made. The city department of weights and measures is supposed to test the accuracy of the scales of retailers, at certain intervals, so as to insure the giving of full weight on every purchase, but the inspection is not rigid enough to guard against trickery on the part of the dishonest retailer. Housekeepers and others who do the marketing for the family, should post themselves, so as to be able to determine had meat and poultry by its appearance, and avoid the purchase of any articles that look doubtful. This may involve the change of dealers in some cases and perhaps the paying of higher prices for articles of good quality. The reputation of the dealer for giving fair weight and good quality should always be taken into consideration, however great the inducement offered by others who cut prices to dispose of goods of dubious quality. Health and honest weight should be a first consideration in buying articles for home consumption. We see no such dark cloud ahead. We trust the union barber shop means, (1) that barbers because of higher pay and shorter hours will be better workmen; (2) that the excellence of service and appointments in union barber shops will make the operation of any other kind of shop unpopular and unprofitable. While the barber shops of Harlem may be unisonized, it must not be forgotten that there are many others throughout the greater city where the cheaper rates still rule. Barber's prices, like other retail tradesmen, seem to vary with their location. The Palmetto Leader of Columbia, S. C. did not hesitate to charge the dictator of Italy with responsibility for the Black Shirt movement in Atlanta, in the following editorial: The efforts of Benito Mussolini are doing their best to spread terror COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS Until the average shopper is drilled in the practice of A peculiar feature of Southern journalism is the Colored section in the white dailies, devoted to news gathered by Negro writers for readers of their race. For example, the Florida TimesUnion of Jacksonville devoted nearly a full page to this purpose, under the heading of, "News for and About Colored People." In a box it carried the names of four "Colored News editors," including a sports editor and a society editor. The news articles included a monthly meeting of the Home Demonstration Council, Church activities, club and social happenings. The titles of Mrs. and Miss were scrupulously used in the reports of the female organizations, while Revs. and Deacons sprinkled the church doings. One feminine group announced a coming meeting at the home of a certain miss on Bloggett lane, under the uncompromising title of "Gold Diggers Social Club of Broadway." That sweet simplicity of name should carry its own story. Recalling some unusual things encountered on a visit to Detroit, E. Washington Rhodes wrote in the Philadelphia Tribune: There is nothing unusual about a street car motorman. But when one sees a black man running a street in democratic America, one sits up and takes notice. In Detroit, forty colored men operate street cars through that city's streets. There are several conductors who are identified with the Negro street. And nothing alarming has happened. It is worth observing that the street railway system in Detroit is under city management. Then there are hundreds of Negro taxi drivers. Several cab companies are owned by Negroes. Incidentally, one company so owned operates more than a hundred cabs. Any time I visit a large city, I like to check and double check on what Negroes are doing politically. I believe Tribune readers are just interested in these things. There are in Detroit, three Lieutenants of Detectives, two Sergeants and three police women—of course there are numerous policemen I simply point out the most interesting One City Tax Assessor, one Country Accountant, five Deputy Sheriffs Look out Philadelphia—One Income Tax Clerk, Federal Government, one Circuit Court Clerk and three County Clerks of all these the motormen and conductors interested me most I wondered why we couldn't have them in the City of Brotherly Love. There is no valid reason why Negroes should not be employed to a larger extent by city transportation companies, except perhaps that few of them seek jobs as conductors or motormen. The same qualities that make good elevator operators should fit them for transportation service. Discussing the New York barber situation, as affected by the recent strike and other developments of the trade, the Baltimore Afro-American said: Finally came the barber's biggest opportunity. Women discovered that they wanted their hair bobbed, washed, ironed and marcelled. Barber shops were equipped to handle this business; but they lacked knowledge of the various "systems" of hair treatment. While they looked down upon the "hair business" of the weaker sex, beauty parlors owned and operated by women sprang up by over the country trade by ride with barber shops. The barbers had muffed their chance. In Baltimore, women pay $1 to $150 for having their hair "washed." men pay 35 cents for a hair cut. Beauty shops for women have regular hours and the managers and journey-women get a two to four weeks' vacation. Most harber shops are cheap in price, irregular in hours and work the employees the whole year through. Unionizing of Harlem's harber shops, accordance to Mr. Rivers, B. Lems, mineral resident of the Railway Dining Car Cooks and Wasters Association, is bound to result in bootleg harber shops and outlaw harbers. picking out wholesome meats and poultry, and fruit that has not been spoiled in transit; the need for strict and vigilant inspection of food shops by the Department of Health should not be relaxed. The Age has already taken steps to bring to the attention of the Health authorities some of the most flagrant offenders in the matter of selling bad meats and poultry. and consternation among the darker denizens of Georgia. The Fascists have applied for permission to incorporate in that state with the avowed purpose of upholding the United States Constitution and maintaining white Supremacy. Fascismo would have all Negroes regrinvol whatever jobs they have and turn them over, pronto, to the white unemployed. Whether or not these Fascists are successful in setting up their organization in Georgia they will do a great deal of harm by stirring up the Georgia populace, and stimulating racial hatred which will be enough in Georgia in turn. Is woods that Negroes take kindly to the ideas expressed by the Communists, when they find democracy to be what it is; and the other world political movements at charged with the venom of hatred as they are? Many Georgia towns have turned deaf ears toward the inanities of the Fascists, and it is not likely that their efforts will meet with complete success. Editor Frederick need not go as far as Italy to fix responsibility for this new movement, which is only another phase of Ku Kluxism, which has exchanged its white sheets and pillow cases for black shirts. Fortunately, the Georgia courts do not seem inclined to favor giving the promoters permission to incorporate, possibly because of its menace to business. Referring to the movement "For a Greater Los Angeles," the California Eagle of that town asked: "Have we here in Los Angeles given consideration to the appeal, or the appeals, which will create new residents for this wonderful city?" It continued. Conventions will try any community once and they will not feel greatly disappointed if the things offered and promised are not delivered. One can be sure, however, that that particular convention gathering will not again visit the particular city for many years if the citizens fail in their promises. Activities will pass and merely smile at bombastic claims which cannot be proven when once on the ground. Home seekers, new residents, are in earnest. They expect what is promised. A home builder depends upon what is offered to be as represented. If one disappoints him one makes unfriendly forever and a day someone who might have become a part and parcel of the community. Its analysis of a community brings forth the action of one of the leaders in the newsroom, that objective should be promoted in earnest, on a sound economic basis. We must not overlook the fact that jobs and financial assistance will be vastly more important than climate and scenery, in obtaining newcomers to Los Angeles. While these latter are desirable and often enjoyable, it is impossible to live on them as an exclusive diet. Communities that cannot offer tangible things cannot take care of more people and absorb them. The California editor regards this as a phase of the local situation that demands the best thought of our people to help solve it. In the same issue an industrial council was announced for the following Sunday to join in a big industrial demonstration. A pertinent question that should interest the police, was raised by the Louisville Leader in an editorial headed "Robbers" in which it said. According to local news the Negro is painting the old town red as a thief and robber. Is it? Are the assaults of men and women on our streets and the fellows who are breaking into Louisville homes, in both cases seeking money—are they really Negroes? Or are they burnt-cook artists? Or are the victims adding mendacity to crame? Or are the reporters eating the public what it is entitled to—the facts in the case? One can see why anybody (who can put his hands on his conscience) might in these times resort to attacking pedestrians and breaking into houses in search of that very scarce necessity—money. And white people who have it or are supposed to have it are not surprised at being the objects of envy and attack while the poor yellow—the unbleached American—whose pocket book is flat and whose larder is empty would yield to his lower instincts to obtain what he needs. Far be it from us to condone theft and robbery. But every newspaper reader has the same thoughts as we have expressed when he opens his paper and reads several accounts of robbery or attempted robbery. We are living this summer in the kind of times that breed robberies, hold-ups, burglaries. Unfortunate it is. May we soon pass through these crime-suggesting crime breeding days. While we offer this explanation for the frequency of hold-ups and burglaries, we yet do not offer this explanation as any excuse for these crimes, whether they be committed by white men or colored men. The device employed by many white criminals, of blackening their faces before starting out to commit a crime, is so well known to the po Saturday, September 27, 1930 THE AGE READER'S FORUM LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Communications addressed to the Editor will be printed in this column if they bear the name and address of the writer.

THOMAS Editor of The New York Age: Perhaps never before in the history of the world has a disfranchise, now more primitive than so completely dominated political questions and issues than is true of the fifteen million Negroes in America. The presence of the Negro in politics is not confined, to any particular section of the country. He seems more powerful, however, in the part of country where he is almost completely disfranchised than in the sec- not only in Georgia, but in foregoing segregation upon the Negroes in the various departments at Washington, D. C. Senator Harris was reelected. So much time was required to discuss the Negro and white supremacy that the contestants had practically no time to tell what they were going to do to promote the economic, industrial and political elements of the respective states. Of course the matter of tariff, taxes, commerce, industry, law and order fade into insignificance when the all important question of "how to keep the Negro in his place" is up for discussion. Thus a voteless people still either elect a voteless our candidates for public office in this Year our Our Lord, 1930. Belittling Colored Man Editor of The New York Age: One hears much about the preface of white writers who take every opportunity to take the white man an object of admiration and adoration among womanhood. About the most flawant offence of this kind I ever read was in the magazine section of the New York Journals of Saturday, September 20. Byron Bidwell, referred to as exalterns, an author and lecturer, telling of the romantic adventure of American sailors marooned on the Pacific Island of Tahoe writes: "The girls have a singular liking for the visiting white man. They distrust their own men folk, who in turn, know their places and do not try to mingle with them unless invited to do so. She trusts the man with incredible willingness and asks nothing but his love." There are Negroes who may smile and think lightly of the obvious intent to make a heroic figure of the white man at the expense of the colored man, but it is just such subtle prose that the false historian has created a false historian in one group, and a dangerous and superficial superiority complex in another.

October 1 promises opportunities for advancement in the business and employment to those who are tactful and patient and can plan far ahead. Care should be used in the speech and writings. This is not a very good year to deal in real estate or any business that requires that money be tied up as there will be need of money during the birthyear. Financial affairs can bring unhappiness to the family circle if not watched. A good year for business and employment. The new birthyear for October 2 will bring opportunities for success to those who follow unusual or social vocations. Travel will bring honor in the future. Those who follow mental and professional vocations should get far ahead except for the negative periods that are mentioned in the first paragraph.

THOMAS Editor of The New York Age: Perhaps never before in the history of the world has a disfranchised, non-voting-minority element so completely dominated political questions and issues than is true of the fifteen million Negroes in America. The presence of the Negro in politics is not confined, to any particular section of the country. He seems more powerful, however, in the part of country where he is almost completely disfranchised than in the section where he is permitted to immortalize and in the senatorial contests in Georgia, South Carolina and Louisiana now closing, the Negro, although physically absent from the political meetings, and denied the privilege of participating in the white primaries, was the dominating influence in either the success or defeat of the contestants. In Louisiana, the veteran Senator Joseph Randell was allecled to have written a letter to Colonel Walter Cohen in which he addressed him as "Mister," Governor Long is said to have used this death dealing material to defeat the good senator. Long was elected. In South Carolina, Blease was accused of pardoning some Negroes who had been convicted of assaulting white women, and as a paradox he expressed himself as being in sympathy with lynching if the right Negro was caught. Under such circumstance he says, "To Hell with the Constitution," including the 14th and 15th Amendments. The notorious senator of the Palmetto state was retired to private life. In Georgia Senator Harris and ex-Governor John Slaton were contestants. Harris sought reelection. He stated repeatedly over the state that Slaton voted against disfranchising the Negro, as well as made speeches against it. He made bold to state that he. Senator Harris, was in favor of disfranchising the Negro, and did all he could to bring it about. By "THEARCHER" Financial affairs will improve considerably for the people of this week during all of August, 1931, and progress will be made in occupational and vocational matters. People of this week will not find it practical or advisable to lend or borrow money before then, and it is best that nothing be purchased unless for cash as it will not be easy to get money before next year. November and December of this year are periods, that hold strong vibrations of Saturn, and especially will this Saturnian influence be felt during the last week of December this year, and the first week of January, 1931. Those who have jobs will need to be careful to avoid antagonizing the superiors in the employment. During these months it would be well for people of this week to avoid buying real estate, avoid moving or changes in any way if possible, and to guard the health. Patience in domestic affairs will help September 27 begins a birthyear that will prove worthwhile to those who are patient and tactful. Those who plan ahead will be able to succeed "The inclination to be careless in manners and actions should be avoided. Nothing can be kept secret and it is best that nothing be done that would cause dishonor if known." The birthyear for September 28 will bring changes in occupational matters, and those who hold important positions should be on guard to avoid loss through enemies. Speech and writing should show good and discreet Patience will bring success quicker than haste and impatience and variations are intensely energetic for the folk, of olday; and the inclination to hurry and rush will be strong but will not bring results that will be worth while. Patience should be the motif. The people who begin another birthyear on September 29 will not go through the period without more or less changes in the employment or business.

Why then is not the health of children? This was the text chosen by Rev W. P. Hayes, pastor at Mt. Olivet, Baptist Church, Sunday morning, September 16, 2014, the holy and spiritual diseases of man, the right physician and the remedy. He described Jeremiah the weeping prophet, how he lamented the law of God. He defined law as the basis of order, and explained that one cannot, or educate evil by human methods, or machinery, either can we legislate and peace into the hearts of men. He explained the symptoms of disease as being selfishness, avarice, pride, envy, ungratefulness, jealousy, maliciousness, cruelty and defective wills and memory. The teacher diagnosed the case, would be the one who made us and knows all about us: One who suffered in the flesh the same as man has suffered. He who knows all about God and all about man, and he is mediator between the two. He then urged that we seek the Lord.

CH. "One of the outstanding characteristics of the early Church," said Dr. Proctor in his morning sermon Sunday, "was the sense of the Divine Presence. If the church of today would have the influence over each constituency which the early church did, it must develop the sense of the recovery of God. At the evening hour he continued at the session of sermons on "How Christ Makes Life Easy," taking up the question of "Turning Water Into Wine." He touched on the romance of Jesus and told how He felt toward the young people of Canaan who contracted marriage with water into wine did not touch the liquor question of today, in view of the fact that conditions have so changed Had He lived today He would turn wine into water."

CHURCH In keeping with the season of the opening of school and colleges, based the subject of discourse from 51 to 54, Matthew 11.22 and 24. It is the time of learning and talking about fundamental things. The man who has advantages and opportunities and does not use them, shall suffer more at the day than he knows the plan and will of God but will not do according to this plan and will. The world today is full of wasted opportunities. We are to be judged according to our own abilities and will human life today. We should use our advantages so that we can grow. We must depend upon God for his help, to make those changes that will make for our betterment. Judgment is the only way to make inventions of today make everything at the hand of the youth of today. What more can God place in our hands? Advantages are wonderful, marvelous. It usually comes down to a matter of what we want to be somebody. The judgment of society voices contempt because we value not the things that are to be esteemed of God. Character must be back of God, and not a partial thunk, among the seeming educated today is that they are wefully partially educated. The laboratory of college will try the faith, there is a need of praying hard during those days that one's soul might be forgiven and so to be forgiven will turn your mind to God. To the older persons the pastor emphasized that their very prosperity which was a great catastrophe, and without which no one can be strong. The arrangement of baptism was administered to the infant of Mrs. and Mrs. A. Showers. THE THE material contrasts between the structures with which (Booker T.

Then there is handsome Dick Campbell whose sinecing voice is much improved, probably a result of his engagement in "Hot Rhythm" on Broadway. Dusty Fletcher is there with his boisterous fun for which he is famous, and Baby Banks, the clown girl from the night clubs, runs him a close second for applause. Manda Randolph is seen in a boy's Tuxedo suit to the amusement of her admirers and she wears it gracefully. Kav Mason and James Carter have a pretty duet, and almost at the close of the long program.

"Wicked Winne" is an unusual kind of drama full of laughable situations and particularly well acted "The Donovan Affair" is a startling mystery talkie with twelve stars including Jack Holt, Dorothy Rever and William Collier Jr. Eight people are suspected in a baffling murder case. Was the motive love, or money or jealousy? Next Week Sandy Burns, popular "Ashes" himself, comes to the Alhambra Monday for a week of good times with his own peculiar brand of comedy. Lost in the Jungle" is Sandy's own creation and he says it is his best, requiring a large and versatile cast, including George Williams, who tours in the conspiracy of fun.

SCREEN Next Week VAUL RING LARDNER BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T BEAR TO DECEIVE YOU, DEAR RLEM THEATRES At The Lafayette Theatre An air of happy expectancy hung over the Lafayette Theatre on Saturday when, after an absence of three years, Henry Drake brought his large musical comedy company to the Lafayett Theatre in what proved to be far the greatest of his shows. It certainly was the Henry Drake of old comdian and masterly musician who lent the Lafayette audience rolling with laughter and applauding wildly. Of course, his large and capable company rendered him admirable support, with the result that the Lafayett is this week presenting its best revue of the season under the appropriate title of "Red Hot." The cast of "Red Hot" includes such well known performers, as Sam Russel (Bilo), Helen Stokes, Chunk Robinson, the famous Gaines Brothers, Rose Landers (singing star of the Lenox Club), Willie Drake, The Eight Whirlwinds, Drake's Cyclonic Band and the Bon Bon Chorus. A great aggregation presefitting a great show. The talking picture program at the Lafayette this week also deserves mention. The feature is "A Notorious Affair" Billie Dove is the star,ably supported by Basil Rathbone. In this, her latest picture, she gives a greater spell-bound during the intrigues, the jealousies, the plots and counter-plots of "A Notorious Affair." NEXT WEEK'S SHOW Another combination of roles: comedy and stark drama will occupy the stage and screen at the Lafayette Theatre next week Freddie Johns is the producer of the stage show which goes under the picturequeue title of "Scramblin' Roun'" Johnson has assembled a capable cast for his musical comedy revue. Billy Higgins and Joe Byrd are the chief fun-makers and all advance notices promises that they do the best work of their lives Iulia Moody and Viola McCoy are the songbirds and the "women in the case." Lew Keene Connie's Inn hoofer-de-luxe and the well-known Three Rythms Kings provide some of the finest specialty dancing on the stage. Lomax and Johnson give a new conception of what a sweet tenor voice, and nimble functors and feet can do with a grand piano. Then there is Columbus-Jackson, the best little tenor sergeant who ever bull-dosed a squad of rookies and a brand new, ravishingly pretty chorus of brownskin dancers. The music will be furnished by Fess Williams and his band—than which are few better. The feature picture is "Covrage," a mighty, gripping drama of motherlove. Every one who loves his mother should see this fascinating story of a woman who went through Heaven and Hell for the sake of her children Belle Bennett is the star Richard Tucker, Marion Nixon, Carter De Haven, Jr. and Leon Ianney in the excellent supporting cast. THE HARLEM Employing The Motion Operators LOCAL All the Fox, Keith, Publix Manhattan Play Houses, Inc., and Warner Brothers At The Rousevelt Turning a modern department store into a sound studio overnight was the task tackled by Harry Beaumont when he, directed "Our Blushing Brides," John Crawford's new starring picture which will be shown at the Roosevelt Theatre Saturday, Sunday and Monday, September 27, 28 and 29. Much of the action of the plot takes place in a department store where the three principal players, Joan Crawford, Anita Page and Dorothy Sebastian, are employed. Joan works in the fashion salon. Anita is at the perfume counter and Dorothy works in woolens. Finding it impractical, to shoot these scenes in the studio because of the amount of stock and floor space required as well as enormous construction costs. Beaumont arranged to "hire" the May Company, one of Los Angeles' largest store institutions, the occupancy to begin after closing time on Saturday night and ending before the opening time Monday morning when the store and stock had, to be "as was" and the staff ready for the day's business. The story of "Our Blushing Brides" is a gripping drama of the struggles of three girls to attain happiness in spite of their spridd poverty. The cast is excellent, including besides the three girls, Robert Montgomery, Raymond Hackett, John Miljan, Hedda Hopner and Martha Sleeper. At The New Douglas "Convicts' Code, which will be shown at the Douglas Theatre Saturday," Sunday and Monday, September 27-28-29, in a sensational, graphically dramatic manner, tells in dialogue and action the story of Hells corridor, a dramatic murder trial, the smashing, startling prison break, and a thousand and one other.thrills. As you hear the story of "Convicts' Code" unfold you will readily understand the reason that stories of the Big House are so popular with people in all walks of life. Sharing honors with the powerful prison story, is Lune Véfé in "The Storm," one of the greatest stories yet to come to the talking screen. The story deals with two men, who are penned up in a snow-bound cabin with the girl whom both love. While death by starvation closes down upon all three, the love hunter in the hearts of the men hourly brings them closer to each other's throat.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM "Hot Rhythm", seemingly, is producing a plenty of heated discussion, if we are to judge by the incidents connected with its run on the boards. The orchestra, to which is confined the mukup, is alleged to be under the contractorship of Harry Hull, the bass player in the orchestra. Hugh Davis, the drummer, is said to have aided Harry in assembling the orchestra, and to have rendered other valuable assistance in various ways. After several rehearsals, and before the open ended, Dunn's services were dispensed with as drummer for the show, and Carl Kenney ("Battle Axe") was hired in his place. Davis promptly filed charges at Local 802 against Hull for many hours rehearsal, and secured judge-for around $100. Then Morris, trombonist, who had rehearsed and had played the show about ten days, was dispensed with and another trombone player put to work in his place. Morris also laid charges in Local 802 against Hull for rehearsal and salary. The trial is in September. Then Luke Smith was given the gate and another trumpet player hired. Charges filed. Boyd has secured judgment for $50 for rehearsals and a midnight show. Boyd is now working out his two weeks notice. The musicians are wondering what will happen financially to Harry Hull, the contractor of the job if all the deposed musicians obtain judgments against Harry for the large amount involved. It is also rumored that the clarinet and saxophone section. Porto Kizanic have tendered their notice to quit as they have secured another engagement. It looks as if New York was flooded with an influx of more musicians as reports state that 200 musicians in Philadelphia quit their jobs. In Detroit, the musicians in four theatres went on strike, pro-four theatres went on strike protesting against wage reductions and a decrease of men employed. In Montreal, Canada, four theatres were de-void of live musicians and were forced to suspend vaudeville. "Hot Chocolate's" orchestra, undef Russell Wooding, has been rehearsing some time, and some reports contend that the only development will be a talking picture Jessie Baltimore, contractor for Lew Leslie's, "Blackbirds," in reported to have engaged Willie Hicks trumpet player, for the show. The "Boy Wonder," as Willie is called, made all the rehearsals. For some reason, Baltimore wanted, to shelve Willie and give the job to another trumpet player, Aaron Johnson, who advised him. Just previous to opening a show Mr. Sol Leslie and Baltimore visited union headquarters about the matter. It was only then, apparently, that Mr. Leslie was aware that Hicks had made all the rehearsals When Sergeant-at-Arms Minton told Mr. Leslie this, Mr Leslie decided that Hicks would have to play the show. Eventually, it was decided that Hicks and the other trumpet player could go on the job. And union authorities made it plain that if any trumpet player was laid off, he should not be Hicks. Both trumpet players went with the show but conditions were made so disagreeable for Hicks in the play and otherwise, that after four days work Hicks interviewed Mr. Leslie, told him some truths, got paid for two weeks work and all the rehearsals and trekked back to New York with quite a respectable sum in his pockets for four days work Luckey Roberts is purely a single engagement booker. Having a call for an orchestra for a steady job Luckey was persuaded to take the job and help the stringent situation among musicians. On the third day six musicians on Luckey's condition looked bad for the job Luckey advised them to leave the job, instead they went back to work. That night the proprietor is reported to have skinned and none of the musicians got a dime. Now, Donald Papum, the banjo player has filed charges against Luckey for his salary. The case was called Monday. September 15, but Luckey was unable to MY·PHILOSOPHY Schools are opening for another year; if any race should appreciate and take advantage of them to better its condition it is our race group.

Talking to Sergeant-at-Arms Minton about his case, it was suggested to the baniist to see Lucky and see if the matter could not be adjusted.

The success of the experiment that Paul Robeson is making this week at the Savoy Theatre is proof of his complete acceptance by the London public. The whole entertainment depends upon him. It ignites and ends with two groups of Negro songs and its centre is the first act of "The Emperor Jones," which we are invited to consider, apart from what follows in the text, as a self-contained play. Certain critics have expressed surprise that the first act should, thus have been given preference: it is, they argue, less impressive than later passages. For my own part, I consider Mr. Robeson's choice as evidence of his discretion and good taste. It is true that the later development of it, perior Jones' would have given him more material opportunities, but seen in detachment from the rest of the play, they could have appeared only as fragments dragged into the program to exhibit the actors' virtuosity. The first act, on the contrary, has a genuine value of its own. It is something much more than the beginning of a serial story. Contained in it is a complete sketch, though of course not a full portrait, of the "Himperger" Everything that he is to become is binned at, all the springs of his character are made plain. By the time hijneys out from his palace into the forest with a top hat on his head and the rumble of his pursers' dreams in his ears, we have been given an outline of the whole man. I do not know a play of which it may more truly be said that the first act is an entitlement or what it to come. For this reason Mr. Robinson a choice is good and his performance not a mere prologue of curiosity, but a legitimate prompting of the imagination. I will confess that I should have liked more of the play and less of the songs, but certainly, when the "Emperor" disappeared and we knew that we were not to see him again there was consolation in the knowledge that Mr. Roberts outting from him the tempus, which would have been too much for many actors to exhibit himself at a peak of emotionalism, had prefigured to display his powers in a quiet, unferred, deeply inimitative study of character. To discover him a few minutes later in evening dress stinding by a grand organ was to me a disappointment. Negro Squirrels are, as a form of art, or to little value that it is hard to make them sustain an evening in the sophisticated circumstances of a theatre. They need a special emotional angst, for they make little appeal to the mind, and emotion of the quality appropriate to them can rarely be communicated by one and the same audience. Only one course is a real to the singer. He cannot, without being ridiculous, work himself into a religious class, he must, therefore rely upon plainness of treatment and avoid sentimentality. This course Mr. Roberts pursues with an admirable taul. This voice is charming, his manner has unaffected ease and dignity. If the songs are to be sung at all in the Savoy Theatre, they could scarcely be better sure. Mr. Robeson, by a coverageiously varied use of his talent has been strenuous but pressing not only his occupation but the uneasing discrimination of playwrights.

Dr Dett, who is both concert pianist and composer, delighted the assemblage with two numbers from his "In the Bottom Suite, selecting the 'Barcarolle' and the irresistible 'Juba' Dance."

It is cruel for one to dress and paint up as a ghost, or wear a mask to terrify youngsters.

We were something of a society in Europe, and we had of course, the interest of the new and the strange.

But here, in the Philharmonic, were people who were themselves musicians of the first order, and perfectly conversant with conditions. Their unstunted praise was, and is, very precious to us.

If a little fellow were not terrified by such stories, the darkness would not frighten him more than the light. Moreover, the mind thus filled with fear, acts upon its body and injures the health. This frightening of children in many cases brings on night terrors. He wakes up suddenly, soon going to sleep, frightened and startled, screaming and claring that he has seen some ghost or thief who is come to take him away. Do not scold him for being frightened, he cannot help it; but soothe him, calm him, let him feel that he has someone to rest upon, to defend. and protect him. Highly nervous children frequently in cases of this kind before a cure is effected find it necessary to have a change of scene and air. POET'S CORNER BARGAIN!

With health, one is able and fit to tackle big things and see them through, the sky seems over blue and the step has spring and vigor.

Mr. Coltrain, who is secretary-treasurer of the Martin Co. branch of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Association of North Carolina, gives an explanation with regard to the separation of J. O. Willis and his wife which parallels details contained in the printed story on August 30, gives an entirely different aspect to the happenings. In his letter, Mr. Coltrain states that on returning home on an afternoon in March, about sundown, he found his family a little excited. On inquiry he was told that a tenant, James Frazier, and his wife, Hattie, a niece of Mrs. Willis, had been frightened away from home. He directed to the tenant's house, Mr. Coltrain says he found Willis sitting in a chair before the fire, apparently under the influence of liquor. With some difficulty, it was ascertained that Willis was seeing his wife, who had come to the Coltrain place after the owner had left home. Finally Willis was told that he might go down to the Coltrain house, where Mrs. Willis had taken refuge, and she then called to come to the woman's fire refused to come, fearing her husband, but upon being assured by the white man of his protection, she came out. Stayed Home Two Months With regard to Robertson and revolver, Mr. Coltrain states that Mr. Robertson took Mrs. Willis home as a favor to Frazer, her niece's husband, and that Robertson a well-see见 Frazer. In close contact with Mr. Staten, Mr Coltrain said: "Now, Mr. Staten, I don't know you, but I'm well known to all your family living around Jamesville, and I want you to understand that the only interest I had in this matter was protecting an innocent woman from the clutches of a drunken demon, as I am quite sure that, and possibly another woman, is the cause of it all." To Send Fof Sister He stated also that after staying at home two months, following her first return, Mrs. Miller was forced to leave home for bodily protection, and that she and the children are now with Frazer and his wife. Mrs. Staten, speaking of his brother-in-law, Willis, said that he free from whiskey he is, a good husband, but that he is a married husband, while the influence of liquor becomes on other man and a dangerous man. Mr. Staten told The Age that he is arranging to send for his sister and her two children to come on to New York to make their home here with him. Mr. Coltrain wrote that he is in bad health owing to worry over her condition, and that Frazer is hardly able to care for Thousands at Funeral of Metropolitan Pastor Continued from Page One: During the past fourteen years, Metropolitan church gave $8,269 home missions, and $8,884 home missions, and $15,101.30 for education. Many big educational rallies were held from time to time and there was keen interest shown in M. M. C. A. work. He assisted M. C. A. work colored and white, in working, work. Opposed Night Funerals One of his strongest convictions was opposition to the holding of funerals at night. He would never allow a night funeral service in Metropolitan, and those of his members who insisted on night funerals for their dead were compelled to go to their undertakers' church. Dr. Brown was married three times. His first wife was Miss Ellen Laws of Franklin County Va., who bore him five children, the second was Miss Corine Prazer of Pittsburgh, who was the mother of a boy and girl, but the girl, Eula, died. He is survived by the third wife, Mrs. Alice L. Brown and the six sons, Robert, James, Samuel, in business here; the Rev Charles W. pastor Morning Star Baptist Church, Pittsburgh; John W. Governor W, and Stanley. There are ten grandchildren. The body lay in state at the The body lay in state at the church from Friday noon. The Funeral Services As early as eight o'clock on Monday morning, people began to gather before the closed doors of the church in order to gain admittance to the auditorium for the services, which were set for 12 o'clock noon. The three main entrances were soon crowded, and the rapidly assembling hosts, as early as 9.30, extended in three dense access the pavements to the street access began on wider out along Seventh avenue and 128th street. The doors were opened at 10 o'clock, and when the services began at 12 there was hardly breathing space in the packed and jammed auditorium, and again there were throngs of people on the outside, filling both sides of 128 street for a hundred feet or more, and on the East side of Seventh almost up to 128th street, numbering in the pavement in middle of the avenue, and there were others standing on the west side of the avenue. The Rev. J. C. Austin of Chicago was master of ceremonies. Following the first hymn, "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound," led by the Metropolitan Church chore, Dr. Austin spoke briefly. Then came another hymn by the choir, "Sweet hour of prayer," and a prayer by Rev. H. A. Tyler of Washington, D. C. The remark were made by the Rev George H. Sims, pastor of Union Baptist Church; a representative from the Interdenominational Ministers' Conference, and Rev. William H. Moses, who was a tutor to Dr. Brown. Telegrams Were Read Dr. J. W.

Jackson, president of the New England Baptist Convention; Rev Charles A. Sears, New York City Mission, John Baskin Memorial Baptist Basilian Conference, Pittsburgh. The 23rd Psalm was read by Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abysinian Baptist Church, and the church choir sang "The Lord is My Shepherd." A set of resolutions from the Church were read by Dr. Thomas H. Church, a member of the board of the church. After an obituary was read by the Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor, of Salem M. E. Church, Mme. Julia Butter Hurse, choirist of the Women's Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention, sang "I'm going to lay the death on you." The funeral oration was delivered by the Rev. J. B. Boddie of the Bethsaida Baptist Church, New Rochelle, N. Y, from Genesis 5:24. The active pallbearers were W. D. Hawkins, Glance Mouserone, W. D. D. Boston, Alfred L. Johnson, Hendera Hilke, James C.

If it were for no other reason than the fact that the police are protecting these people of Harlem and the Bronx, I should be opposed to the taking down of the elevated structure. "Second: I do not see the need at the present time of crushing the construction of the Sixth avenue subway line. In the first place, it would be better to build an avenue line leaving the Eighth avenue line at 53rd street, running parallel with the Eighth avenue line and joining it again at Trinity place. One of the arguments used in support of the demolition of the Sixth avenue elevated structure is that the territory served by it has fallen in population to such an extent that the justice is no longer required for the needs of this section of the city. Would Not Justify Expense "If this is so, then it does not justify the spending of millions of dollars for a branch line along a route which does not warrant the continued operation of the Sixth avenue elevated line. We must hear in mind also that this particular part of the city is served by the Ninth avenue elevated, the new Eighth avenue subway line, the Broadway, I. R. T. line, the R. M. T. subway line I think in view of these facilities that it would be the part of wisdom to await the opening of the new Eighth avenue line before taking down the Sixth avenue elevated. Deplorable Conditions "Third." It is my opinion that the construction of the Sixth avenue line should be suspended for the time being, at least until after the opening of the new Eighth avenue line. I feel on the other hand, that work should be commenced at the opening of the new East side line, structuring the new East Side line with the funds thus diverted. The conditions at Grand Central are deplorable. I have it from the Transit Commission that nothing can be done and no relief given except through the construction of new subways. For the current East Side lines, it is my opinion that the construction of a new East side line should commence at once. "Fourth." There is another very important element to be considered in connection with the suggested demolition. What will it cost? Who will be required finally to foot the bill? The Court of Appeals has not yet laid down the principles that finally will be applied to the condemnation of the 42nd street spur. We do not yet know what the costs in such procedures are. As when, we do it, can safely be assured that the cost will run into many millions of dollars. Mullions In Award "You must keep in mind that the Interborough, will try to prove that the Sixth avenue line is very profitable. The courts might, and in all probability would, take these profits, if proved, into consideration in the case it is that the Sixth avenueborough. Nobody can tell how many millions this will amount to. You know, too, the City has not yet been presented with a bill for the condemnation of the Sixth avenue extension. "When the cost of the demolition is made known, how you to be challenged, you will have to pay the Sixth avenue property owners have said. I emphasize said—that they would be willing to assume the charges locally. There has been no guarantee of this, however. In fact, I am quite sure that, as in the case of other big assessable improvements, when the bill is presumed, special will be found that Nibbler the property owners picked the time, they will be unwilling to pay the toller. "At least there should be a binding agreement of some kind as to how and by whom the improvement is to be paid. I believe that everything should be done to enhance the values of real estate in our City, when there is any question between real estate values and the convenience of the people, and we should stand on the side of the people." The building was lovely on Thursday night. Membership Homecoming Night, with autumn flowers of glorious hue. The flowers were brought in from Pleasantville and given by Miss Mattie Hayes and Miss Minnie Taylor. One hundred and nine members were present at this opening of the building on Thursday night. It was a happy reunion. We wish to remind our friends that the staff of the Y, W, C.

AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES Following his removal from the position of superintendent of the Harlem office of the Employment Bureau, State Department of Labor, Herman Whaleley, through his attorney, Mrs. Ruth Whitehead Whaleley, applied to the Supreme Court, First Judicial District, for a writ of mandamus, compelling his reinstatement. On Friday, September 19, Justice Ernest E. L.

Information comes from the office of the State Attorney General that the court order gives the department twenty days in which to file an answer, and a representative with the case will show cause in due time. In the meantime, the dismissal remains in effect. Veteran Messenger In State Department Ends 25 Years of Service (From The American, Foreign Service Journal) Washington, D. — James O. Holmes, one of the very well-requisessed 25 years' service, on August 2, and on that day the Division of Western European Affairs, where he is now stationed, presented him with a letter of appreciation and a purse of $50 in gold pieces. James Holmes has had an interest in being first assigned to the Bureau of Trade Relations when Consul General John Ball Osborne was chief of that office; next, he was assigned to Ambassador William I. Buchanan, during the Central American Peace Conference in 1900, where he served as Elijah Eliphant, Elijah State, and after that to Rober Bacon and Phalardeus C. Knox, when they were, respectively, Secretaries of State; he then served Evan E. Young, Hoffmann, Phillip J. V. A. MacMurray. During the World War he served the American Advocate under Robert Rose, Dr. Holder and Consul General Marion Letcher. His next assignment was to the Division of Political and Economic Information, when Prentiss B. Gillman, a professor at that office was abolished, he went to the Western European Office, when William R. Castle ir. was in charge, and he remained there ever since. (Editor's Note: Mr. Holmes is a brether of Mrs. Marielle Cnchlow, known fraternal woman of this city.)

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES By JAMES H. HOGANS THE P. P. B. A For the next two months mu- ters' industrial bridge. First, their representatives under the Plat- lowing hard, on the heels of that of delegates to the biennial meet Association, which opens its sesse in November. Both elections are four or five weeks. For the next two months much water will flow under the porters' industrial bridge. First, there will be the annual election of local representatives under the Plan of Employee Representation. Following hard on the heels of that event, will come the annual election of delegates to the biennial meeting of the Pullman Porters Benefit Association, which opens its sessions in Chicago the third Tuesday in November. Both elections are scheduled to begin within the next four weeks. Of the former activity, there is nothing of sufficient interest to stimulate a desire or urge for speculation. There are no signs, present, anyway, in the cast of the porters' industrial sky that portend a gathering storm. As of yore, indications point to a serene election with the porters participating in the unanticipated apathy. But with the newly created activity, indications are entirely different, Signs have already appeared which lend grounds for the belief that this year's election of delegates will arouse a more intense degree of interest than that shown in any other previous election. There is, of course, a very good and obvious reason for this situation. But invading it, however, a bit of digression is necessary for clarity's sake. Strength was added to the rumor by the appearance in New York afterwards of O. E. Robinson, who had served the association in capacity for a number of years. What rumors were circulated in Chicago regarding his retirement from the secretaryship subsequent departure from that city are not definitely known. But his arrival in these parts was the occasion for divers stories. One of these was that he had resigned the position because he had grown tired of it; another that he was forced to resign, and still another that he had had friction with some of the Association's stories.

Now, notwithstanding that it was kept as quiet as a church mouse at a revival meeting, when it occurred, two months or so ago, the news leaked that the association's secretary had resigned. Romeo Dramatic Players In Second Annual Opening Romeo Dramatic Players In Second Annual Opening The Rome Dramatic Players, affiliated with Abyssinian Baptist Church, with Mrs. Mattie F.

Robinson, who had served the association in capacity for a number of years. What rumors were circulated in Chicago regarding his retirement from the secretaryship and this subsequent departure from that city are not definitely known. But his arrival in these parts was the occasion for divers stories. One of these was that he had reasoned that because he had grown tired of the job, he was forced to resign, and still another that he had had friction with some of the Association's head moguls. Which of these stories comes nearest the correct one is still a matter for conjecture, but the positively known by now the former secretary is out. And while the association is represented in both the New York Central and the Penn. Terminal districts by officers who are executive conversant with its affairs; not one of these could be entrusted into discussing the matter. The most definite information any of these officers would impart was that the position was open and would be until the biennial meeting of the association, held in November. So, that explains the reason for the interest in this year's election and meeting. According to the constitution of the association, eight of the ten executive officers, which include members of the seven directors, of these seven, are ed at the biennial meetings of the association. The only one of these who draws a stipulated salary from the organization is the secretary. The other salaried officers are the three directors, both of whom are elected by the board of directors. These three officers, treasurer, comptroller and secretary, do the association's clerical work. The salary of the secretary is $2,500 a week, in office is decided at the biennial meetings, which, in turn, depends upon the votes of the delegates to the meeting. Therefore with a $2,500 job open, it is easy to prognosticate the degree of importance which this year's delegates will assist. In the meantime the number of aspirants for the job, it is learned, are piling up like fleas on a barn-ard puppy. No one, to be sure, can blame the fleas. When the office and a woman typist, allowing one to lean back in an easy chair, and say, "Miss... are you ready for this morning's correspondence" are all considered, the number of applicants is not at all surprising. The whiskbroom and brush seem far away indeed. Neither should it be surprising if many of the aspirants do not first reflect on their ability to handle the office before casting their hats in the ring. This, of course, is merely a side observation, and is not intended as an implication against the efficiency of any of those whose hats will find their way into the ring. That phase of the matter, however, need not produce any gray hairs among the aspiring members. Whoever is fortunate enough to be elected to the job will be be competent enough to fill it. The most important thing will be to get elected. The hints picked up here and there among those in the inside, this will require a little ingenuity, a little strategy, a little pull and finally a majority of the delegates votes. It has been often said that it is better to give than to receive. According to some of our porters it should read: "It is better to ask the other fellow for something before he asks you." Someone should give W.H. Alen a big dose of ginger to keep him awake on the job.

Virginia Democrats Fail To Carry On Fight To Bar Negroes from the Democratic Primaries in West Case Judge Groner In 4th Circuit Court Held The Law Affecting Right of Negroes to Vote In Democratic Primary Unconstitutional Richmond, Va.—Negro voters were jubilant on September 13, when it was announced that the James O. West case, in which the Virginia Democratic primary election law was declared unconstitutional in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals will not be taken to the United States Supreme Court. MAYOR TURNER TELLS OF ALL-NEGRO TOWN, BOLEY, OKLA.; ITS GROWTH Alfred E. Cohen, counsel for West, said no steps were taken by the election officers in the case to carry it to the higher court. The time limit for noting an appeal expires Sunday, but as Sunday and holidays are counted against persons figuring in cases taken to the United States Supreme Court the Virginia case came to an end Saturday, Cohen said. Asked $5,000 Damages The case grew out of a suit instituted by West against A. C. Biller, William Boltz and William Ricker, election judges, for $5,000 damages for being denied the right to vote in the primary April 3, 1928. An appeal was noted in the Federal Court, when a jury awarded West a verdict of $5. West appealed from the judgment to the United States Circuit Court for the 4th Circuit, and Judge Groners ruling was sustained in a unanimous opinion handed down at Asheville, N. C., June 12, 1930. Judge Groner held that the By HARRY D. EVANS We had been spared the ordeal of making the trip by train from Oklahoma City to Boley, all Negro town, some sixtyodd miles east of the Oklahoma capitol and through the good graces of friends made the trip by auto. The beautiful rural scenery en route engaged our attention but little until our driver announced that we were nearing the outskirts of the town. Approaching nearer, an immense black steel water tank jetted into the cloudless, sky. To the right of this could be noted the cornice band of what later proved to be the top of the Oklahoma Masonic Temple. So we drew near an oddly shapped grey metal covered building that glistened in the sunlight. Big many letters announced it as "Electric Gin". Turning left, we came into Main Street, a dusty, freshly dirtied throughfare flanked on either side by about every make of auto that any average town would exhibit. We passed two filling stations in turning off the main highway. We found a parking space and alighted to get acquainted with Boley. Crowds congregated along both sides of the street peering into them, shop windows, groups cheerfully dancing, women anxiously reading newspapers, oblivious to the noise and hub-hub about them, for this was primary election day throughout the state and Boley was keenly interested in the results. Some few unoccupied persons were seated on benches under the canopies of the stores Soon we were facing the building that fixed itself upon us when Boley first move into view—the Masonic Temple, a modern, brick, stone-mimed structure owned and maintained as the State Home of Oklahoma Masons and Eastern Stars. Boley by now had aroused our deep interest and the urge to know more, about the workings of the town. Choosing the town bank for the real inside information, we met D. J; Turner, President. This proved a "lucky break" for us, for aside from directing the destiny of the town's only bank, Mr. Turner is the ranking town official, being mayor of the world's largest all Negro town. The mayor proved an interesting and engaging, personality, and from references made to him later by his fellow townsmen, he is regarded as being a "man of honesty, unselfishness, keen vason and quite the best business-man in the state." Mr. Turner plunged right in to answer our first question of how old is Boley. "Some 35 years ago colored farmers migrated to the then Indian territory, and some settled near the geographical center of the state and withstood the gradual encroachment of the whites. After the state was admitted to the Union in 1907, Boley became a town, incorporated and chartered, and began to build itself into a trading center for the rich agricultural section Boley's trading area extends approximately 10 miles in distance. That area are to be found nearly 2,000 persons owning land, in varying amounts, from a modest lot within the corporate limits of Boley, to the expansive farm that produces hundreds of bales of cotton, many sheds of corn and potatoes, thousands of pounds of pork and beef button; with its battery of trucks and other mechanic to qualify it as a big,ute, efficiently operated law so far as it affected the right of Negroes to vote in Democratic primaries was unconstitutional. No Appeal Filed Judge Parker, who failed to be elevated to the United States Supreme Court Bench after labor organizations and Negroes were reported opposed to him, entertained views similar to Judge Gorner's as to the law. Despite the fact that counsel for the election judges failed on July 17, 1930, to avail themselves of the privilege of staying the mandate issued by Claude M. Degane, clerk of the Federal Circuit Court, putting into effect the decree the tribunal had rendered in the case, it was generally believed that they would note an appeal, sixty days being allowed them in which to prepare their record and notify opposing counsel as to plans. No efforts were made, however, to show that the law held violative of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment would cause an appeal "Boley's chief crop is cotton. Approximately 3,500 bales are grown, picked, ginned, bought sold and shipped by colored hands that rank well up among the experts, cotton men of the state. From September to February Boley is teeming, with activity. Three gins handle the crop often, but cost them, often in preference to white gins located nearer to their farms. Each of the Boley gins have their own cotton samplers—cotton buyers "Our bank, the Farmers and Merchants, finances the Boley cotton crop, an annual exchange of cash aggregating $300,000." Mr. Turner plaused, "then gazed out the window and started talking again"; "Our farmers were hard hit by the low cotton prices, short crops, etc, of some few years ago, but are staging a gallant comeback formerly every acre of land was planted cotton. Until the crop came in, families were at the mercy of store owners, usually one who exchanged his meat, bread coffee and sugar for a mortgage on the customer's crop. Loose business methods were used and the merchant prospered, but his customer always failed. "This whole system has changed, thanks to the Farm and Home Demonstrators operating under direction of the State and National Department of agriculture and the fine results achieved in the meetings held within the section from time to time. Farmers in the Boley area are rotating their crops, raising much of their meat, their potatoes and bread making grain. Housewives have gone in for canning and preserving in a big way. "The average deposit in our banks is approximately $2,500; some larger and some smaller. Placing funds at their disposal in reasonable amount has proved, a distinct pleasure to our bank as well as a good investment on what we have had potentially no issue. Providing money for the dualal citizenry of the Boley area has helped the forty odd different businesses located in our town to function better and to render a better type of business service. As you may note, their stocks are complete and adequate for this rural community." Remembering the several general stores, barber shops, restaurants, hardware stores feed stores etc, and inquiring further into the business life of Boley, we found that it has two successful coal merchants having about 180 car-loads each per year; that there are three physi-chemical companies; that the Commissioner, whose vigilance keep the community free from epidemics and makes Boley a healthful place to live in. Boley has one dentist, and a registered druggist who operates a well stocked drug store. Some years ago the town owned and operated its electric power plant, but in recent years it was merged with numerous small plants over the state to form the Oklahoma Public Service Company. The municipal supply of water comes from two deep drilled wells located near the edge of town and the town owned water works pumps it throughout the community under good pressure. Boley water is rated A-1 by the State Department of Bacteriology. There is an bonded debt of $100,000 secured by the schools, water and light plants. Local taxation has provided sewers, sidewalks and curbs. The mayor advised us that they plan an extensive paving program in the near future. Rev. Dr. ERNEST HALL Of Cleveland, O., National Lecturer of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and Convention; Member Executive Board of The International Religious Association, and World Sunday School Convention. "What forms of municipal government has Boley?" we asked. Our host replied, "We have the aldermanic form with five aldermen, town clerk, treasurer, marshall and justice of the peace." "On what salary is your mayor?" The mayor replied, "A dollar a year." "Do you have a jail in Boley?" "Most certainly, but it is seldom used. There is little need, for this is a law abiding town." "Has Boley felt any part of the Oklahoma oil boom" "Indirectly, yes. We are just seven miles north of the Seminole Cromwell field, one of the state's richest. Five years ago much of the land in and around here was leased to prospectors at good prices. Had not over production in the oil fields shut off wildcatting. Boley might now be the center of a new field, with its landowners' pockets bulging. Who knows? insofar as the general town in of a state affects the town in of Boley has been affected" "Mr. Turner, what is the future of Boley? What opportunities are offered to persons desirous of locating here "I'll answer the last question first. Boley, like any other town, offers a chance to succeed proportionate with ones willingness to work and work and work, and then to work some more. Specifically, there are good chances for real farmers with money enough in hand to sustain themselves for at least two years. There is an opportunity for an ice plant; the town's ice supply is now obtained from neighboring cities. An ice cream manufacturer ought to make some money here, as would out-drink bottler, weaving until clothing cloth in the section would be profitable to the owners and a big help to our community. Many good opportunities are in and around Boley. Serious thinking capable young men should not over-look them. # "Now to answer the first of your questions. Boley has a bright future. Our farmers are learning to use a part of their acreage to plant foodstuffs for themselves and their live stock; to diversify their crops so as to keep the soil fertile and productive; they are learning to drain the soil with hollow tile piping, to save the soil from washing by terraces and systematic ploughing. Boley is the trading center for a farming area. As that farmer agrees to sell Boley, Boley with the farmers about us becoming more and more proficient and thrifty, our town can't help but grow, slowly, perhaps, but no less steadily and securely."

Seems like I couldn't stand anything—the least exertion and I would have weak trembles. "I heard of Cardui and thought it might do me good.

Y—Levi M. Spaulding, 88 years old, one of the oldest and most popular officers in the, Ithaca Police Department, died in police headquarters on Thursday, September 11, as he was unlocking the handcuffs which had been placed on the hands of (George Curle) on the nines, a grotesque arrest of a grotesque arrested after an all-night vigil part of the whole police three. Mr. Spaulding, the only colored officer on the force, was appointed October 12, 1919, and succeeded to No. 1 badge on retirement of Patrolman William Curtis several months ago. Prior to that time he operated a barber shop. Patrolman Spaulding had engaged in the hunt for Barnes, who had killed his wife. Mrs. Algie Barnes, from whom he separatized, face Tuesday evening. September 9, in the home of her mother, Mrs. Cora Martin, 204 Cleveland avenue. It was an unusual coincidence that this property was owned by Patrolman Spaulding. When Barnes was arrested Thursday morning, he was taken to police headquarters in Spaulding's automobile, chained to two officers. Standing in front of the desk, Spaulding was unlocking the handcuffs, when suddenly he harried the key to, Desk Sergeant John McCarthy with the plea, "For God's sake get me out of here." Before any aid could be given, he sunk to the floor. Brother officers took him to a back room, and gave him first aid. Police Surgeon John Warren was hastily summoned but reached headquarters just as the stricken officer fired, Mr. Spaulding was a captain, the Spaulding family which originally came from Spaulding, Ga., and is survived by Mrs. Spaulding, a brother, William A, Spaulding of New York City, and a sister, Mrs. Haggie Scarlett of Newark, N. I. He was an intimate friend of William H. DesVerey of 150 West 11th street. " Graham-Wynder Richmondp. Va—The marriage of Miss Pauline Henrietta Winder to Lorenzo Oliver Graham took place at the First Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon, September 9, at 5:30 o'clock. The ceremony was witnessed by a crowd that taxed the capacity of the church, which was beautifully decorated in palms, asters and ferns. As soon as the church doors were opened George Howell began playing music from the bridal scene in the opera by Johannes Winder, when the bridal party rehearsed the church. O. T. Williams played two violin solos, "Largetto" and "I. Love You Truthly" Miss Ruth Morris sang "O Promise Me" and the Bridal March from Lehengin was played as the bridal party advanced to the altar. The bridesmaids were *Miss Urth Barce, Miss Lillian Robinson, Miss Helen R, Cornell, Miss Lillian Olphen and Miss Grace Threat. The maid of honor was Miss Geneva Randolph. The ring bearers were Doris Graham, dressed in blue and John H. Wonder ir., dressed in black velvet, and white silk. The flower girl, Sara Mervile Wynder, wore green. The bridesmaids dresses were Grecian style of chiffon and velvet, with Grecian head dress of pearls. The bride entered on the arm of her father, who gave her away. She wore a Grecian gown of ivory satin, and ivory tulle veil, fastened with pearl organals. She carried a bouquet of silks of the valley and, stenhan touches. Joseph Graham, brother of the groom, was the best man and the subjects were Cecil Graham, Collins Howlett ir., Robert L. Howlett, Linwood Mosby and Ravinond Graham. After the bride reached the altar, Miss Ruth Morris sang, "Beloved It Is Morn." The Rev Dr W. L. Ransome, pastor, performed the ceremony. A reception followed at the home of the bride with W. H Fox as caterer and a host of friends in attendance.
