Colored American Legion Posts Were Prominent Factors in Annual Convocation Held In Boston, Mass.
Boston, Mass.—Conspicuous among the units attending the 'annual convention of the American Legion were many composed of colored veterans who saw service overseas. The George P. Davis Post, 116, Brooklyn, N. L., made a striking show as formed a part of the spectacular parade, and many complimentary things were said by the lookers-on. Members of the delegation from Brooklyn were Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Lockhardt, Miss Alice Lockhardt, Mr. and Mrs. Ward, L. Maxwell, B. Barringtine, M. Woodgard, Geo Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Porter, Paul Steward, C. Goodman, M. Branch, C. Smith, K. Copeland, A. J. McArthur. Other New Yorkers were Henry Anderson, E. Jackson, R. C. White, G. P. Jackson, B. C. Freeman; of the Col. Charles Young Post. From Freport, L. P' came Joseph Walker.
Another Negro aggregation that attracted attention was the Col. Charles Young Post, 108, from Charlotte, N.C., which brought along its drum corps, which won favor with all heaters. This group, led by Lawrence A. Oxley, the only race department officer in any state, marched to the Statler Hotel and serenaded National-Commander O. L. Bodenhamer. Afterwards this group marched to the Robert Could Shaw monument on Boston Common and was given the city by Mr. James M. Curley. A strong effort was made to have resolutions condemning lynching, sent by the California legionnaires from their August convention at Oakland, but the resolutions committee, after a 148g discussion, voted to table it and not bring it to the convention floor.

The New York Age
The unrest' and discontent already manifest among Negro Democrats in Harlem was furthered on Tuesday, October 21, when it was reported that John R. McNeel had been dismissed from his position as Special Deputy Sheriff of New York County.
From reliable sources County. From reliable sources learned that the cause of the dismissal was due to the controversy recently engaged in between McNeel and Civil Service Commission Ferdinand Q. Morton, who is fighting to hold his place as leader of the United Colored Democracy. The cause of the controversy, it is said, was the opening ceremonies of the John R McNeel Association last week at 163 West 131st street. Although a Democratic organization, McNeel insisted on there being a non-partisan opening and accordingly invited prominent men and women of all political faiths. This is said to have aroused the ire that John who is reported to have wanted the opening to be strictly a Democratic affair. The dismissal followed with the appointment of William Banks, president of the Golden Democratic Club, as McNeel's successor.

Bullets Through Back Window of Car Kill Man
Believed by the police to have been the victim of mistaken identity, Howard Robinson, 30, of 226 West 123rd street, was shot twice through the back of his head as he was driving on his car, a new Ford roadster, on Lenox avenue at 126th street, and died shortly after in Harlem Hospital. The gunman's identity has not been discovered. When shot, Robinson, without stopping his car, staggered out and fell on the pavement at 127th street. The car went on, swerved over the curbing and was headed for a crowd of pedestrians when Sergeant O'Shaughnessy of the West 123rd street station jumped into the car and pulled the emergency brake.
Examination of Robinson's car showed that two bullet holes were in the back of the top on an even line with the wounds in his head, indicating that the assassin had fired from a car directly in the rear of Robinson's. Pedestrians heard the shots fired but did not see the killer. At his home, the officers learned that Robinson, a subway employee, was a "clean-hyling, law-abiding citizen." Police believe Robinson to have been the victim of a racketeer who mistook the car for one he had been trailing.

Tammany Leader Morton Takes Reins Of Non-Partisan League Meeting In Own Hands, Displacing Chair. Carter
Advertised extensively as a "non
Advertised extensively as a non-partisan" meeting under auspices of the "Non-Partisan" League, with a large crowd drawn to Abysinian Baptist Church on Wednesday evening, October 15, it developed eventually that it was simply and purely an activity of the Colored United Democracy, when Ferdinand Q. Morton, head of that organization, came late to the meeting and immediately ousted Elmer E. Carter, the non-partisan chairman, from the presiding officer's seat and took that position himself.
Mayor James J. Walker had been billed to speak and men and women of all political faiths had been drawn to the meeting out of a curious desire to see and hear the city executive. Mayor Walker was ill at home and could not be present, but when Morton arrived, about 11 p. m., he was accompanied by the Mayor's private secretary, Judge McAndrews, who came to represent his chief, and former Supreme Court Justice Jeremiah Mahoney. (Chief E Toney, one of the Democratic candidates for Municipal Justice in the 10th district, was speaking when they entered, but Chairman Carter, noting the entrance of the latecomers, announced their presence.
Snubs Mayor's Secretary
But as Toney finished his speech the latter part of which had been devoted to conunions of Commissionor Morton, a message was conveyed to Chairman Carter which seemed to direct him to call on Morton next. When this was done, and Morton had extended to the platform, he immediately informed Carter that he, Morton, would take further charge of the meeting, and then, instead of introducing Judge McAndrews, Morton presented James S. Watson, another Democratic candidate for Municipal Justice in the 10th District.
Some expressed the opinion that Morton was angry because the mayor had not appeared in person, and that this accounted for the scant courtesy shown His Honor representative.
However that may be, it is certain that both McAndrews and Mahoney left the meeting without even being introduced to the audience.
Before introducing Watson, Mr Morton took opportunity to claim for the Deinocratic party responsibility for enactment of every progressive bit of legislation now on the statute books.
All Democratic Candidates

N. C. Electrocutes 18 Year Old Negro Youth
Raleigh, N. C. Harvey Lawrence, 18 years of age, who lived in Hertford County, was electroduced in the state prison October 10 not shooting a white woman and a male while drunk. The youth was only sequestered when the crime was committed. Through the efforts of The New York Journal and Guide, and N. J. Askew of New York City, a former resident of Van Nuys, N. C., funds were provided for an appeal but in New Jersey the lower court was upheld. The demeaned lawyers, A. C. Cadellore and V. D. Strickland, also sought to have Governor Max Gardner commute the sentence. But this the Governor refused do unless new evidence was presented.

drawn out meeting, Chaiman Car-
ter had tried to emphasize the
non-partisan character of the
meeting by saying he had once
been a member of the speakers'
bureau of a National Republican
Committee in the midwest.
A further disclosure of the controlling influence of the "Nom-Partisan" League was seen in the fact that while it is supposed to be organized for election of Toney and Watson to the British House, every speaker was a regular Democratic candidate, including District Attorney Thomas C. T. Crain, Congressman Joseph A. Gavagan, James Stephens, candidate for the Assembly from the 19th A. D., Deputy Tax Commissioner Napoleon, and Borough President Julius Miller, candidate for Supreme Court Justice to fill the vacancy created by the mysterious and unsolved disappearance of Justice Joseph Force Crater.
Gasoline Gushes From Well and Water Stops
Reidsville, N. C—Lonnie Burwell, a Negro farmer down in the southeastern section of Caswell County, has refused $10,000 for 16 acres of land since a well dug on his place thirty years ago has become an oil well following blasting by the State Highway Commission some nine months ago.
After the blasting, Burwell found that oil was in the well with the water, but the water finally disappeared and now he is drawing out four gallons of pure high test gasoline every day. He has drawn more than 400 gallons since last February.
W. M. Allen, State food and oil chemist, reports the gasoline to be on high test, and the government laboratory at Washington reports it as having tested 0.1 per cent, the highest test of any yet found in the United States.
Burwell has refused the $10,000 offer, but has accepted a lease proposition from P. E. K. Harrelson of Corbett, and J. M. Ivey of Graham, whereby he is to receive half of the proceeds derived from sale of the gasoline. The lessees have an additional 300 acres adjacent to Burwell's land, and are arranging to start immediately the deep drilling of a well.
390-Pound Woman's Death Brings Problem To the Undertaker

Three Arrested In Harlem As "Slavers"
James Green, a Porto Rican and his wife; of 375 West 127th street, together with Taiey Boucart, an Arabian magician, are being held by the police as "white slayers," charmed with abducting two schoolgirls who have been missing since last June.
One of the girls, Irene Fayko, 15, of 1028 East 156th street, The Bronx, was found in a road house in Rockhill, near Monticello, Sullivan County, and she gave the 15th street address as that at which Irene Kessler, 4, of 703 Fox street, Irene Kessler, 4, of 703 Fox street, The Bronx, might be found. The two girls disappeared at the same time.
Sheriff Derow of Sullivan County and a detail of state troopers made the roadhouse arrest, and Detectives and War of the Missing Persons Bureau arrest the Greens. From information the prisoners gave, the officer went to a midtown hotel and arrested Roccardi.
The Fayko girl, when arrested, said that she and Irene went to a movie show on June 19, and had accepted the offer of a ride from a man driving a long green car of expensive make. They were taken to the roadhouse, and a few days later the Kessler girl was removed to the Harlem adjoining the police believe these arrests will and in solvise, the mysterious disappearance of more than fifteen Brona schoolgirls. All of the prisoners have criminal records.

MORTIMER KRAUS
Republican Candidate for Congress, 21st Congressional District; has built an enviable reputation as a practicing attorney for 12 years.
MORTIMER KRAUS APPROVES CURB ON MOB KILLING
MORTIMER KRAUS APPROVES CURB ON MOB KILLING
At a capacity meeting last week at the Republican Club of the 23rd A, D", Manhattan, Mortimer Kraus, the Republican candidate of the 21st Congressional District, in his speech, asked, "What has my opponent done about introducing an anti-lynching bill?" "A great body of American citizens, the Negroes, constituting a great percentage of the constituents of a Congressman from this district are vitally and rightfully interested in the passage of such law." "They are entitled to that same measure of justice and the right to be judged as I am. They too, have millions of numbers, are veterans of the war. They have received the rights of citizenship and one of those rights is that of a trial, which all too frequently is denied them to the horror of right thinking, people."
"Did my opponent introduce such a bill and represent the will of his constituents in the valley, or did he bow to the will of the Democratic gentleman from the South? "
"I have voiced my convictions as I see them, and not from a viewpoint of political vantage, but as I see it, the high office of Congressman is one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed upon an American citizen and not just a political job.
"Mr. Frustrus' campaign is under the directives of his campaign manager, David B. Costuma, former Republican leader, of the 19th A. D.
Delany Endorses Mortimer Kraus For Congress
Hubert T. Delany, Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and last year's congressional candidate from the 21st Congressional District, has publicly announced his support of Attorney Mortimer Krause, the Republican candidate for Congress in the present campaign from the 21st District. When told that Congressman Joseph Govan had charged him with raising the race issue in the last campaign, Mr. Delany said:
"I absolutely deny that I raised the race issue when I was a candidate - I appealed for the public suffrage on my merits. If you will remember, there was circulated in the white section of the district circulars attacking me because of my race. The federal authorities are still investigating to find out who sent these circulars through the mails. Moreover, Mr. Gavagan's mangers permitted white children to black their faces and parade the streets in certain sections of the district electionering for him. Andersor Mortimer Krause, the Republican candidate. He has been secretary to former Justice Gustav Hartman, and has lived among us, knows our problems and aspirations. If elected, he would give Harlem ten times more representation than Mr. Gavagan is now giving.
"I know that Mr. Gavagan is pointing to his selection of two colored boys as candidates; for the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis as the reason why we should re-elect him. Mr. Gavagan knew all the time that these boys would not be appointed, and, this was meant as a gesture. He speak out against the government's segregation, of Negro Gold Star Mothers? Why didn't he appoint a Harlem boy to West Point? How does he stand on reappointment?

Brotherhood o Sleeping Car Porters Lose
Chicago, Ill.-The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car, Porters. A Philip Kandolph, president and general organizer, with headquarters in New York City, lost its right to enjoy the Pullman Co., from interfering with the Brotherhood and affiliated organizations, and particularly to present the company from holding its annual elections of officers for the Pullman Company Union.
The application for a temporary injunction was heard Wednesday, October 15, in the Federal Court by Judge Charles E. Woodward. The Judge refused to issue the temporary order asked for, saying that no emergency existed.
But he also said that he would be willing to hear arguments on a motion for the granting of a permanent injunction against the Pullman Co.
The Brotherhood, representing 8,000 porters and 3,000 sleeping car maids declared that the Pullman Co. through coercion and threats, compels the the sleeping car employees to vote for a group of hand-picked officers for the company union, which is entirely controlled by the company, and that the union is operated entirely under company control.
To Ask Permanent Injunction
President Randolph states that under Judge Woodward's ruling, the Brotherhood will file suit for a permanent injunction against the Pullin Company Mr. Randolph declares that failure to secure a temporary injunction does not weaken the Brotherhood's case, for there would necessarily have had to follow a request for a permanent injunction.
The Brotherhood, he says, is being represented by Henry T. Hunt of New York; David Lillenthal of Chicago, and John Lynch of Chicago.

Black Shirts In Georgia Get No Charter
Atlanta, Ga—Judge G. H Howard, in the Fulton County Superior Court, denied a charter, to the American Fascist Order of Black Shirts, which listed among the purposes cited in its application the promotion of "white supremacy."
Judge Howard said that some of the members apparently misunderstood the term, "white supremacy," and sought a charter "authorizing both legal and illegal acts." The Black Shirts chartered at Orlando, Fla., which opposed the charter for the Georgia order, was enclosed from operating in Fulton County.
Several Atlanta firms have been confronted with demands from the black shirts to discharge Negro employees and put white men in their places.

One of the jurors said: "We thought you might give him a suspended sentence."

We read an editorial in The New York World that the first New York City budget to reach $100,000, came in 1992. Fifteen years later $400,000,000. A great world war was preparing up prices and cost. Yet John Mitchell in part upon the promise which he failed to keep of lower taxation. Now Budget Director Kohler asks for a total of $150,000,000. In ten years we have more than multiplied the budget by six. The mere increment of $40,000,000 is equal to nearly half the total budget we are running at the beginning of the century. And the $150,000,000 is not the end of the story by any means. This is a tentative draft certain to have its face lined. A beautifying process to inspire taxpayers with mingled emotions. The Board of Estimate overoves the budget items, but not to add to them. What the final budget will be no one knows. The most expert guess is that of Comptroller Berry who looks to see a total of between $30,000,000 and $335,000,000 with a basic assessment perhaps. Now to my mind this is a high taxation and with an assessment making the burden still heavier, the only remedy I can suffer in the sincerity of the purpose of the various groups of civic organizations and we trust that the officers of these various organizations favor favors become accessories to the very crime we have set out to eradicate.

CONGRESSMAN DEPRIEST'S ADVICE.
It is generally accepted that Representative Oscar De Priest of Chicago is a practical politician. He is of the type that is rather deprecated by the high brows in politics, but one whose value as a voteetter and steadfast representative of his constituents, as well as the race in general, should not be underestimated. There is no serious doubt that Mr. De Priest will be re-elected to his seat in Congress next month, but there are many reasons why his constituents should roll up such an impressive majority in his column, as to indicate no uncertain measure of support for him and his policies.
The practical political sagacity that characterized Mr. De Priest in his career was indicated in the course of some remarks made by him at a banquet given recently in Chicago, in honor of Judge Albert B. George, who is running for re-election. Mr. De Priest emphasized the fact that the time to drive a hard bargain with politicians is before election. He was quoted as follows:

The practical political sagacity that characterized Mr. De Priest in his career was indicated in the course of some remarks made by him at a banquet given recently in Chicago, in honor of Judge Albert B. George, who is running for reelection. Mr. De Priest emphasized the fact that the time to drive a hard bargain with politicians is before election. He was quoted as follows:
"When you have something the other fellow wants, that's the time for a bargain. When candidates want your endorsement and active support and your vote, that is the time to exact from them a promise to aid you in the appointment of colored men to pose that you have log wanted."
"In Chicago we ought to have a master in chancery and a clerk of the Probate Court. Now the thing to do is to pick two of your number who can qualify to fill these posts and endorse the candidate, who if elected, will be in position to aid you in obtaining them."
This is the practical quality in the Congressman's tactics that has contributed to his success in a city of clashing contention as Chicago. His advice and example have done much to stimulate interest and activity among Negro voters, not only in Chicago, but in other parts of the country. He has stood up with courage and pertinacity in advocating the fullest measure of citizenship rights for the race, regardless of opposition, from whatever quarter it might come. His attitude has commanded respect and consideration from even his opponents, because there was no misunderstanding of his position.
By his presence and speeches in Harlem, during the campaign for racial representation last year, Mr. De Priest did much to encourage and stimulate the voters of the Nineteenth and Twenty-first Assembly districts, in the contest which resulted in the gain of two Assemblymen and two Aldermen, besides representation in the leadership of both districts. His influence on the whole has been helpful in arousing Negro voters to a sense of their rights and their responsibilities in the use of the ballot. He possesses a personality and a wealth of practical experience in politics that are necessary to his people at this stage of their career.
The re-election of Mr. De Priest to the House of Representatives by a substantial majority would increase his prestige. His value as a representative of the popular vote is bound to increase in proportion to his length of service and his greater familiarity with legislative procedure. With good judgment tempered with experience, he may be expected to render as good account of himself as he has in the past. While some differences of opinion may have arisen within the race as to the tone of some of his utterances, there has been no occasion to doubt his sincerity and devotion as an advocate on questions affecting the race. Mr. De Priest should be returned to Congress by an impressive majority.
This is the practical quality in the Congressman's tactics that has contributed to his success in a city of clashing contention as Chicago. His advice and example have done much to stimulate interest and activity among Negro voters, not only in Chicago, but in other parts of the country. He has stood up with courage and pertinacity in advocating the fullest measure of citizenship rights for the race, regardless of opposition, from whatever quarter it might come.

LYNCHINGS AND RELIGION
It remained for Dr. Harry Elmer Barnes, an outspoken radical who is a regular contributor to the editorial page of the New York Telegram, to point out the fact, as proclaimed in the headlines of this article, that "Lynchings in South Thrive on Religion." Dr. Barnes whose title is accounted for on the subject of philosophy rather than divinity, pointed to the enlightened stand taken on lynching by the Methodist Episcopal Church South, which, in condemning the favorite practice of its section, said:

"The situation, as we see it, is serious in the extreme and challenges every religious leader, public official and Christian citizen to determined and unrestrainted war upon this blighting survival of barbarianism." The prevalence of lynching was laid in large part to neglect of religion and the teachings of, the church on the subject.
Dr. Barnes while willing to accord praise to the Southern. Methodist Church or so straightforward a denunciation of lynching, doubted if the remedy proposed would work very effectively. Referring to Walter White's investigation of lynching in the South, published in his book entitled "Rope and Faggot," he asserted that if there was one fact demonstrated beyond all question in that work it was his: The frequency of lynchings in the south are in direct proportion to the strength of orthodox religion—i.e., the baptist and Methodist religion. In other words, the more pious the area the more likely it is to roast or stretch the nigger." We quote Dr. Barnes, who in turn quoted some unknown authority, possible one of the lynchers.
That a tolerant and humanitarian religion would help greatly to reduce lynching, Dr. Barnes has no doubt, but he thought it not likely that more of Methodist, Baptist or Presbyterian fundamentalism would curb the zeal of the lynchers. He charged that orthodox Christianity has been responsible for more organized cruelty and barbarism than any other cultural force in the history of the human race. For two thousand years, he said, has revelled in burnings and hangings. This view of the church was incidentally confirmed in the testimony of the Texas Free Mason, printed in the Age of few weeks ago, when he stated that many of the participants in recent lynchings in that state were professed Christians, and a master of one of the local churches was heard to remark lightly a few days after human holocaust, "We cooked that noose."
The first logical step recommended by Dr. Barnes in a religious attack on lynching in the South would be to so "reconstruct religion as to make its applications utterly incompatible with the mental attitudes which must be created before any lynching can take place." That is a large order but if the denunciation of lynching through church conventions and assemblies is to be more than sounding brass and tinkling cymbals, something of this nature must be attempted. It might be feasible to suspend missionary attacks upon the innocent, or at least unoffending, heathen in China or Africa long enough to concentrate these battalions of crusaders in a tryout of Dr. Barnes' suggestion. This would rest the verity of his assertion that "holy real is the inexhaustible reservoir which feeds the lynching psychology."
It may be that Dr. Barnes has put him anger on the spot that reveals the underlying cause of lynching. At all events the church should give his remedy a trial if it really desires to stop lynching.
JUDGE PARKER ISSUE IN OHIO.
When President Hoover insisted upon porcing his nomination of Judge Parker of North Carolina for the Supreme Court through the Senate, he furnished one of the outstanding issues for the present political campaign in Ohio. So far as the Negro voters are concerned, the main issue seems to be to defeat Senator McCulloch for re-election because of his support of the nomination of Judge Parker. This movement was started by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which initiated a vigorous campaign against McCulloch on its state meeting at Columbus the early part of the month.
Meetings are being held in all the large cities of Ohio, emphasizing the non-parishian character of the National Association and basing its opposition to Senator McCulloch on the ground, that he had ignored the pleas of colored voters and supported a man for the Supreme Court bench who was hostile to the Negro's struggle for full emancipation. Exhaustive plans for the prosecution of the campaign have been worked out and the result is expected to lead to the defeat of the Republican candidate.
The carrying of this fight to Ohio realls the remark attributed to Senator Blease of South Carolina, shortly after the rejection of Judge Parker, as told by a correspondent of the United Press, as follows:
Senator Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, told the Senate that two Negroes sitting behind him on a street car yesterday as he went to his home remarked: "Well we gave the South hell today."

Senator Trammell, Democrat, of Florida said Senator. Blease must have been on a different street car, because on the one on which he rode he heard expressions of disappointment among the Negroes because of Judge Parker's decision against segregation laws.
The result in Ohio may throw some light as to which of these two Democratic senators heard correctly, or whether here was any tendency to feel disappoint

PHILANTHROPY IN TEXAS.
We have so often to record and reme
the appressions and attacks made upon
to character and characteristics by the
professional Southerners of the Vardaman
please stripe, that it is a pleasure and
privilege to vary the procedure by public
expressions on the part of white Sou-
therners of a higher type who believe
then and exact justice and do not hes-
say so in public print. This was a
reason why we were glad to print the
session made by Dr Dillard on lynch-
an editorial last week, as well as cag-
ing it in our news columns.
Besides the increased volume of fa-
cle expressions in the press and on
platform by white Southerners of I
landing and undoubted courage in fave
fair deal for the Negro in the co-
d in education, there is another in-
clusion of better sentient in the dispo-
sition of white philanthropists in the South
include Negro institutions in the
division of their property. A notable
sample of this was in the division of
state of a wealthy tobacco manufact-
ure in North Carolina, a few years ago,
which one of the Negro institutions
at state was enabled to vastly en-
lance facilities.
A more recent instance of this kind
recorded in a recent issue of the Hou-
st Post Dispatch, showing the various ins-
tructions of learning that had been named in
all of the late Will C. Hogg, the son
former governor of Texas. By the wi-
sis capitalist and philanthropist, var-
isms, ranging from twenty-five thous-
one hundred thousand dollars. We
it as student loan funds to state ins-
tructions, to aid deserving students in ac-
cording to education.
Among the institutions named to
incipitate in this fund was Prairie W
ate Normal and Industrial College,
the amount of twenty-five thousand
dollars. Prairie View College was desi-
grer, the training of Negro youth and
participation in this fund is an indica-
tion of the liberal views of its donor on-
vision of greater facilities for N
education. The college authorities wi-
s declined to regard the bequest as a hea-
symbol of the qualities of helpfulness,
display, displayed by the donor in his
hirt to express peace and goodwill to
en, regardless of race, creed or color.
There is need for the cultivation
of these qualities in all sections, but
specially in states like Texas, where o-
so frequently made to form a baal
ual opportunity, not only in educa-
tion in all avenues of economic pro-
d civil rights. A bequest of this na-
tions to the existence of a better se-
ment, which will undoubtedly help
me to promote better race relations.
Instance of such a sentiment among w
outherners should be recognized
appreciated at its full value.
We have so often to record and refute the aspersions and attaches made upon Negro character and characteristics by professional Southerners of the Vardaman and Please stripe, that it is a pleasure and a privilege to vary the procedure by publishing expressions on the part of white Southerners of a higher type who believe in even and exact justice and do not hesitate to say so in public print. This was one reason why we were glad to print the expression made by Dr Dillard on lynching in an editorial last week, as well as carrying it in our news columns.
Besides the increased volume of favorable expressions in the press and on the platform by white Southerners of high standing and undoubted courage in favor of a fair deal for the Negro in the courts and in education, there is another indication of better sentient in the disposition of white philanthropists in the South to include Negro institutions in the final division of their property. A notable example of this was in the division of the estate of a wealthy tobacco manufacturer in North Carolina, a few years ago, by which one of the Negro institutions in that state was enabled to vastly enlarge its facilities.
A more recent instance of this kind was recorded in a recent issue of the Houston Post Dispatch, showing the various institutions of learning that had been named in the will of the late Will C. Hogg, the son of a former governor of Texas. By the will of this capitalist and philanthropist, various sums, ranging from twenty-five thousand to one hundred thousand dollars, were left as student loan funds to state institutions, to aid deserving students in acquiring an education.
Among the institutions named to participate in this fund was Prairie View State Normal and Industrial-College, for the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars. Prairie View College was designed for, the training of Negro youth and its participation in this fund is an indication of the liberal views of its donor on the provision of greater facilities for Negro education. The college authorities were inclined to regard the bequest as a healthy symbol of the qualities of helpfulness and fairplay, displayed by the donor in his effort to express peace and goodwill to all men, regardless of race, creed or color.
There is need for the cultivation of these qualities in all sections, but especially in states like Texas, where color is so frequently made to form a bar to equal opportunity not only in education, but in all avenues of economic process and civil rights. A bequest of this nature points to the existence of a better sentiment, which will undoubtedly help in time to promote better race relations. The existence of such a sentiment among white Southerners should be recognized and appreciated at its full value.

What was styled the American Fascist Order of Black Shirts was finally denied a charter by the Fulton County Superior Court at Atlanta last week, Judge G. H. Howard in denying the petition, according to the Associated Press report, said that some of the members of the order apparently misunderstood the term "white supremacy" and sought a charter "authorizing-both legal and illegal acts." The evidence showed that several business houses in Atlanta had been approached with demands that they discharge their Negro laborers and place white men in their places. This they had declined to do, thereby provoking threats of retaliation on the part of the Black Shirts.
Another branch of the Black Shirts, chartered at Orlando, Florida, and which intervened in Fulton County to oppose the granting of a charter to the Georgia order, was enjoined from operating in that County. This organization which is formed along the lines of the Ku. Klux Klan, to promote "white supremacy" and incidentally to collect initiation fees and dues from its dupes, is taking advantage of the spread of unemployment in the South. Because of the scarcity of paying jobs, due to the depression in business and the collapse of the real estate improvement schemes in Florida, it seeks to displace Negro workmen from those jobs that long custom has allotted to them in the social scheme of the Southland. Now no jobs is too menial or uninviting to appeal to the whites of the South.
While it is no doubt a good thing for the whites of the South to go to work and cease to be classed as loafers and idlers of no account, because of their disinclination toward hard labor, it seems unfair that they should oust Negro workers from
the jobs that have been preempted as theirs for years, especially by the use of coercion and intimidation. While the Fulton County Court has frowned upon this method of seeking employment, and Atlanta employers have declined to accede to such demands, these methods have prevailed to some extent in Florida. The endeavor at present seems to be to drive Negro workers from city jobs, thus forcing them to go back to the country districts to the farms, where they may be exploited through the tenant farmer or
According to the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia is going to have a Negro Authors. Week during the month of December. It explained:
The purpose of this week is to bring before the people of this city the fact that Negroes have a right to high claims in the field of authorship. Some of the leading authors will appear and speak and we are to have a meeting to have access to the books of Philadelphia's colored authors to preside each night. Among those who have accepted are Georgia Douglas Johnson, the poets; James Weldon Johnson, author of various works of poetry and prose; Kelly Miller, Professor at Howard University; Carter G. Woolf, author of *Narrative Forms* of *Narrative History*, and others. Many of the leading publishers have signified their pleasure in cooperation and a committee of Philadelphia citizens who are inclined toward literature and who see the value of the work. Woolf cooperates. The list of cooperators in this movement will probably contain the names of more of the leading citizens of Philadelphia than any ever printed.
And the religious editor of the Recorder triumphantly closed his announcement with the exhortation, "What Philadelphia does others may do."
The About Town writer in the Minneapolis National, in an effort to prove that attention to the job will not only make it more secure but possibly turn it into a situation, cited an encouraging example in the success won by Mrs. Ethel Peters at Minneapolis, as follows:
Mrs. Peters was given a job by the General Electric Co. Her task was to keep neat and attractive the model home set up in the basement of their new building on Fifth Street. Also she was to show people thru the rooms. All of this she performed acceptably for six months. But she the model home more and more about electricity and its application to home lighting. She learned to explain, and explicitly, to prospective purchasers of electrical power, the manner and method employed by the company in making its product add to the comfort and beauty of home, and to provide itself with personal furniture and its artistic placement, with the latest modes in electric fixtures, with installation costs and upkeep; with all the variations of the business that transformed her from a maid into a saleswoman. She learned, curiously enough, that many prospective clients, none too need of what the business would preferably clarify the situation to her, a colored girl, rather than to a saleswoman of their own group. She was attentive, well informed, persuasive, neat and friendly, and the public soon convinced the management that in Mrs. Peters they had a high powered saleswoman. From a two-hour shift, she had her daughter her to an eight hour, saleswoman, with a corresponding, increase in compensation and an airight hold on her position.
The writer argued that as the qualifications of Mrs. Peters are common to many other young women of the group, they should try her methods in seeking opportunity for advancement.
Expressing gratification over the announcement, that five young colored women have been admitted to the class in nursing at City Hospital, marking the first tangible evidence that a new policy is in effect at this big Cleveland institution, the Cleveland Call and Post said:
Forced by councilmanial action to grant the many advantages of its educational privileges to all classes of citizens alike, there was no other way out for the hospitol management, but to defile that alter all the old bugaboo with which it had been inflicted. The officials in the past, that if colored nurses were to be admitted the American Nurses' Association would summarily withdraw its white nurses from the institution) could no longer be conjured up in defense of their jim-crow policy. Not only were they brought face to face with the issue thru Council's resolution, but the uncomfortable fact that in the future there were three colored members who were thus in a peculiarly strategic position to see that the law of equal rights was obeyed.
So, we of the burnished lively need no longer gulp and apologize when some inquisitive visitor asks pointedly: Why do Clevelanders have to lend their dolk to Freedman's Hospital and on occasion like institutions to train? Have you a City Hospital in Cleveland?
COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS
crop sharing system or reduced to ultimate peonage, such as prevails in backwoods districts in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. The situation is a grave one and is complicated by legislation in states like Virginia and North Carolina, imposing certain restrictions on the more lucrative trades, like the barbers, intended to bar out Negroes in favor of white barbers: Cooperation and combinations of the Negroes in catering to their own necessities may help to relieve this movement to drive them out of industrial pursuits.
Aside from the humanitarian principle involved, public policy would dictate the granting of the widest opportunity for the training of doctors and nurses in the effort to combat disease.
That the unexpected sometimes happens even in a Louisiana 'law court, was startlingly illustrated by an editorial headened "This is. Justice," printed in the Louisiana Weekly of New Orleans. It read:
In Section C of the Criminal court last week a Negro was arrested for trial, on charges of assault, however, by not giving the names of his witnesses to the court, so that they might be notified when to appear. When asked if he was ready for trial, he said that he was, but explained that the witnesses in his case were not there. The judge then asked, him, if they could help and if they could corroborate his statement that the charges against him were false.
The judge, after conferring with the lawyers, of both sides, decided to give the accused a chance to bring his witnesses into court. Some might say that no more than he should have done. But it is not the expected that causes us great surprise, it is the unexpected. We know that we are entitled to fair play in the courts, but when we get it, we are amazingly surprised. This man could have been "railroaded", but he wasn't. "Wherever representative punishment appears accepted," justice is the law of the land. Let's have more of this kind of justice in our courts.
There have been increasing evidences of a disposition on the part of judges and juries, in both Louisiana and Georgia, to render even and exact justice in cases where Negroes have been involved.
Talking about "Pennant Winners," the St. Louis Argus had the following praise for the St. Louis Stars, as being not only pennant winners but World Series winners, so far as Negro baseball is concerned. It said:
We think that the Stars are the best baseball aggregation that ever wore the mits. Man for man in his place on the field, we think the Stars are better players than the Cardinals. We can bank on this statement because we hardly think that anyone will call our hand by arranging a match between the two Stars and see the Cardinals in action because do not attend baseball games at Sportsman's Park, where there is a Jim-Crow set-up for Negroes and where Negro women are insulted. We do, however, attend the games at Stars Park where race pride, loyalty and patriotism swell our heart. The owners of the Stars Park well men only asking its patrons to conduct themselves like good gentlemen. They do not deny anyone a box seat just because he de she happens to be a Negro. In fact, a real spirit of democracy fills the breezes at Stars Park. We imagine that an atmosphere of unwelcome is felt by the colored who do humble themselves to attend a ball game at Sportsman's Park. In fact, we don't expect expecting colored person can possibly have a desire, whatever, to attend any game at Sportsman's Park in the World Series or otherwise.
From the standpoint of entertainment, we can assure the fans just as high-class, and just as scientific games at Stars Park as may be seen on any baseball diamond in this mansion plus a hearty welcome to all regardless of race or color.
The pride exhibited by the St. Louis editor in the prowess of the Stars is undoubtedly warranted, as many of the colored teams have displayed unusual skill in what has become known as the national game of this country.
Under the heading of "Doors Against You," the Cincinnati Bullet referred to two recent cases of discrimination in that city, as follows:
The Cincinnati College of Embalming does not admit Negroes, as they did some years ago. A young coming here, inadvertence after coming here, inadvertence, and was pointedly refused.
We also, know of another young man that was refused admittance to Xavier, the local Catholic College, where politics are always ready to receive the head of the church. Plenty of religion for you, but cut short your training for business. There is nothing fair about the turning away the young men from either of these schools. The Col-

The Lynching Curse
Editor of The New York Age:
While "thinking things over with Calvin Coolidge," our thoughts naturally divert to the land. We are hobbied day by day at the newspaper reports of the terrible atrocities which are being perpetrated on our people.
Men who are high up in the councils of the nation are seeming afferent to the taking of human life without due process of law.
The church is so busy collecting funds to Christianize the heathen that they cannot hear the cries of anguish coming from their leaders, who are witnessing distance of those pious worshippers of God.
Lynchings have become so widespread within the past nine months that if not checked, will soon sweep the country and become general throughout the land. We are trying to pledge the candidate's affiliation in New York to voice their condemnation through the press and on the rostrum against this heinous and barbarous practice of wholesale murder at the hands of blood-thirsty men who feel themselves immune from the consequences of their nefarious actions. We are trying to secure the national government to a sense of its sworn duty, namely, the protection, of life, liberty and property, and the pursuit of happiness of its citizens. The rulings of the inhabitants below the Mason and Dixon line, are, seemingly, ignorance, violence and bloodshed. The victims and their rein without lef or hindrance
We now carry our case to the highest tribunal in the land, to wit, to the bar of a fair and an unbiased public opinion, with a feel of justice. We are the people is the Voice of God." If we can get no relief from these curses and abuses in this home of the brave and land of the free," then we are virtually deprived. We shall not cease to struggle in this fight for fair and Christian treatment by our oppressors, and as long as we know that God has not withdrawn His strong arm in our defense, we refuse to submit to the human outrage on our people.

Father John LaFarge Radios on Negro Problem
On Wednesday, October 15, the Rev. Father John LaFarge, S. J., associate editor of "America," and chairman board of trustees of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute at Ridge, Md., a school for education of Negro youth, spoke over the radio from Station WLWL on
The women who begin a new birthyear on October 25 will have the tendency to say and write the wrong things, or to write and say the right things at the wrong time. Those who can plan ahead very carefully will be able to accomplish worthwhile things. Patience and tact will bring worthwhile results. The men of today who follow professional vocations can gain honor and success if they are tactful. The affairs of brothers or sisters will be the cause of changes in the mental attitude. October 20 begins a birthyear that will bring gain and honor to those who can be very careful in their work. Carlessness, especially in business and employment, will bring disastrous results. New plans will net out well. Family affairs will require tact and patience. Care will be necessary when traveling, in handling sharp instruments, and when working around fire or machinery.
The birthyear for October 27 brings a need for very good judgment, patience and tact in every matter that comes up. Financial affairs will not be very good, and care should be used to avoid disaster and loss through or because of money. Those who need care in the house only need lose money and time. The family affairs can be pleasant if understanding and compassion are used. It is often better to say nothing when another brings unhappiness for time will change things for the better.
Those who begin another, birthyear on October 28 will find that parenting can do more than anything to keep the baby and be happy in the family circle. Those who can think before they speak or write will not have future reefers. Lawsuits and legal matters will not be favorable. Those who have jobs should be careful to avoid offending the superior.
The new birthyear for October 29 will be able to succeed through pa
bodies from the General Hospital and a large number of them are colored. On these colored bodies they are used to further the white man's knowledge in the science, "Why he frogs for ankles?" Of course the injustice and shortsightedness of refusing students an opportunity for training because of their color is patent to all thinking people. But where do the frogs and
"The Negro in the City" He is speaking on October 22 on "The Negro in the Country" and on October 29 on The Negro in the country the broadcasting is from 6:40 to 7 p.m. In his first speech, in part:
"It is commonly said that the Negro people in this country are bound together by their race. But is it their race that binds them together? Race is too accidental to unite whole mass of people uniting whole mass of people our practical, busy world. What does unite them is first of all, the common experience of hardship, depression and triumph over hardship and depression.
"And they are also united by the white man's attitude on race. It is the common experience of their fellow-citizens, unconsciously yielding to a false philosophy, have made race an essential factor in human life, instead of the mere accident that it really is, that the Negroes feel compelled to unite on race, will willingly for mutual protection and mutual aid in self-development.
"It was the propagation of this flse philosophy of race that helped, among other causes, to leave 9,000,000 dead on the battle-fields of Europe in the World War. And 9,000,000 dead on the war, times too passionate or extreme in defense of the undoubted merits of his own race, let us remember that the insistence on the issue of race is not his insistence. It is the insistence of those who have profited for generations by his services at the present day. "As the Negro sees it, a great deal of the racial issue is based on a peculiar kind of ignorance. The average white man has come in contact with the colored man simply as a sort of useful instrument as a working worker, or an obliging servant, or an agreeable attendant. But this is not the same as knowing him simply as a man. "The American Negro feels himself a member of a people or folk group, amongst all the groups he can make up as the American people, rather than as a race set apart.
"The irony of fate has it, that it is precisely this majority of workers, this mighty contributing of patient industry to the nation's wealth, which finds it now, of all peoples, the hardest to find employment in the country where they work and their parents, and their parents' parents before them, have lived, or died in times of peace, or offered their lives in times of war by the tens of thousands for its salvation.
"How can the situation of the Negro be remedied?" The unchanging answer is: Not by rough-and-ready labor, but by painstaking study of the problems as the problems of a people, by intelligent men and women of both races working together, planning together, and praying together, in every city, locality and parish

RUSH 'MEMORIAL CHURCH'
The "Unseen Snakes" was the subject of the discourse of Rev. F. D. Douglas, pastor of Rush Memorial Church, at the morning service last Sunday.
The pastor did himself and his hearsers proud in his scholarly portrayal of the way and manner "Snakes" are being held for frieds folks by their supporters, back to the time of Moses, Caesar and others.
For more than a week past, the pastor and people of Rush have been holding revival services with Dr. Clarke, pastor of the C. M. E. Church and his people.
Beginning last Sunday, Dr. Clarke and his folks are guests of Rush Memorial.
The choir, under leadership of Mrs. Mary C. Brundage, will hold an international contest Monday evening, November 3, for the benefit of the fall rally.

Other church auxiliaries are doing their best to make the coming rally a success.
THE REFUGE CHURCH OF CHRIST
Monday, October 15, the mission-
tional custodial services, as is
the usual custodial
Tuesday, the pin, was filled by
Elder Edwards an old veteran of
the cross. He is admired for his
disposition and fatherly advice.
Wednesday, the young people had charge of the service, and L. Rhone, a member of the Church of Bishops in Belfast, caustically. Thursday the church and the night chair under leadership of Mrs. Brooks, went to fill the invitation to appear on the anniversary program at the Walker Memorial. Our pastor was away, but Mr. Sims presented a fine message from Job Friday. Elder Peter Brown spoke and the services were spiritual and edifying. Sunday, H. A., Hill spoke in the morning service from I. Peter 12-28. At the close of the service, Amy Crawford presented the pastor, Bishop R. C. Lawson, who had just returned from his vacation. Sunday night Bishop R. C. Lawson preached a powerful message from St. John 10-28. All were glad to have him back and to see him. We felt that it had a time ahead for Refuge.
Visitors are always welcome to attend our services. The church doors stand open every day in the year 52-56 West 133rd street.
ST. PAUL BAPT. CHURCH
The last week was crowded with events. It was convention week and from Tuesday to Friday night, the State Convention, with the Women's Auxiliary, held sessions in the Union Church, Manhattan Park, N.Y. The pastor spent several days at the convention, returning home and meeting in the arrival meetings, in which Mary Upshur preached each night. This young woman drew large crowds, and, with her earnestness made a deep impression on those who heard her. The meetings closed Friday night, with the largest crowd out, despite the rain that we saw during the event. The reception was shaded of the services offered by the substantial offering.
Sunday was a day unusually filled with services. The Sunrise prayer meeting was conducted by Mr. Hardy, leader of the Little-Mr. Zon Band, while the members of that band worshipped with St Paul's. The pastor dropped in, and after listening to the testimonies and the strong witnessing, he felt feeling that if the people will do as these leaders tell them, the churches will be spiritually strong. Dr. C. D. Patterson delivered the message at the morning hour, which was indeed a practical and helpful one. The pastor after teaching a class, returned to preach the 8th anniversary of the Missionary Society. The president Mrs R. J. Hail, the groups, had grown and a thorther group of which was carried out, and then the pastor delivered a short message.
The B. Y. P. U. held decisional service preceded communion, and this was a lively meeting spiritually. Rev. Horatio Horton Hill director of the Educational Center, was present, and gave an encouraging address. He was also the preacher at the evening service. His theme was "city," based on Revelations 11-18.
We omitted to mention the return of Mrs. Ernestine Williams, one of our best workers, who spent the summer months in France, where she had the opportunity to visit the various cities. She returned, and is looking "the picture of health and found her way immediately among the workers in the church." Georgia Williams, who has been task for the past three or four weeks is greatly missed by the church.

Sunday morning found the Sunday school crowded with the happy and smiling faces of little children eager and interested in the morning lesson.
The eleven clock service was well attended. The lateen, Rev H. W.

Striving unceasingly to our dreams, Heaven.
At the close of the service one member was united to the church Sunday evening Rev H. W. Stanley chose for his subject "Take the Child from Under the Child shall Live" the Genesis 10 chapter. He spoke of the faith that Jeremiah had in God, believing that some day he would grant his wife, Anna, his privilege to bring forth a son, or Jeremiah and his wife were in the stage to produce an offspring. In due time God answered Jeremiah's prayer with the gift of a wonderful child called Isaac. In conclusion he left these beautiful words ringing in the ears of every listener: Faith is the path to power divine, the Christian's way to truth sublime. "None the Christian's way from life's difficulties, but love in the world is the greatest, thing the Christian's way to bless the King's touching sermon Rev H. W. Stanley commemorated the Lorda-Supper, with every member present participating.

Dudley; the second chapter to the letter of St. Luke; praiser Hunter. The subject of the sermon preached by the pastor was "Paterned Old Age." Examples: Simeon and Anna, their devotion and righteousness before God; St. Luke 2nd chapter, verses 25 to 30.

MT. OLIVET CHURCH
Sunday morning October 19, the services at Mr. Olivet Baptist Church were well attended. A solo was excellently rendered by Miss Olive P. Hopkins. The pastor, Rev. W. P. Hayes preached from 1 Corinthian 3:21: "Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things ails yours." He delivered a stirring, spiritual message concerning Paul's letter How Paul quoted himself as being the servant of all the people both small and great, whose gospel of Jesus Christ kills down all presuppositions and those who have the Christian religion have allied themselves with life. He explained life as an active dynamic force, and that God does not intend that the devil should have all the best things of life. He also spoke of the power of the Christian over death, of the joy, peace, serenity and reunion of the departed, of the eternal happiness to come with gifts so great that man has not conceived them in his heart. Hawkes and his wife left for Virginia on account of the death of his mother.
Charles Simmons, former tenor solist of this choir, assisted during the morning service. Representatives, from Mr. Olivet, including the Wimbled Culture Club, the Wimbled Church, Brooklyn, for the organizing of Little Zion Church, passed by Rev C L. Madison.

Subset: "Birthrights" His theme dealt with such items as self respect, talents, and love for the Christian church. How wrong it is to sell our birthrights for money other selfish means.

My unsaved brother, my unsaved sister this morning. Give your heart to God and unite with his church. Live the life of the righteous and die the death of the saint.

BRIDGE ST. CHURCH
The person of Jesus Christ in our life is the uppermost thing. We must absorb, take in and follow His teachings, and remember that church propagation must go on by installation of ideas," said Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler, the pastor, during the course of his sermon at the morning before congregation filled Bridge Street Church to its capacity. Dr Tyler based his remarks on Revelations 21:5. He vividly described the origin of the text and stressed the thought that St. John, the writer of the text, was able to grasp the meaning of the passing of the old order. Thus the barrier between God and His people will be removed. Other points in the sermon are. We must realize that the kingdom of God is in us. Environment does not make men and women anything but the select, for whatever level they reach is of their own selection.
Four persons joined the church when the invitation was extended. In the afternoon the pastor and members paid a fraternal visit to Bethel Church, of which the Rev. James B. Shaper, on Sunday, October 26, a fraternal visit will be made to the A. M. E. Church on Staten Island.

THE material contrast between the structures with which (Booker T. Washington) began and the present great, simple and commanding place for life to live about. But subsidiary and encouraging in this is it, but is an important measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement. The education and helpful work, that three hundred young men and women live useful to themselves and their families is of course a most commandable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he might want to do. Like Washington, he felt the light of the homely but ever living truths which must form the basis of real advance for his race, or any race—WILLIAM NOWARD TAPT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court.

SILOAM PRES. CHURCH
With the church calendar full of activities to occur during: these several months of the year, Siloam Church, Dr. George Shippen Stark, to use his busy working to make possible the co-ordinating of its program for the future development of the church.
The pastor, took his text for the morning hour of worship from St. Matthew 8. 26, portraying the lessons from the life of the sleeping Christ. In his discourse, it was very vividly and pointedly brought all of us lose faith. No man can sleep good unless he tries to live well. Unless man walks with God during the day he cannot sleep well at night. Though he be wakeful feels no fear. It may be that he has some prayer to offer in the night, some song to sing. Wakefulness has its uses, may be made a blessing when Christ is absent. When in trouble we do not argue with God. Christ admonishes us as he did the disciples at that time, that why we are full of fear is because we have but little faith. We cannot have much fear and much faith at the same time, we work in adverse ratio. We can do better understand Christ; understand Him better we feel our sense of need.
In answer to question can the Sleeping 'Christ' help man, Christ sees us through the heart and not through the eyes. He sees our need and wants us to help. Send you is with you in the storm. Nothing can happen to us but God knows it. Then fear should be cast out. Fear is the greatest enemy that human kind has. Fear is excitement, confusion of mind and fear. Fear is faith in God that clouds will life, that all must be well because Christ is with us.
The Bible school met in session at 1:15 p. m. During the early part of December the school will hold annual Christmas carnival in the school, the program begins with the first Sunday in November.

Lincoln Lions Trounce A. and T. College 11
Lincoln University, Pa—The Lincoln Lions returned to their best form on Saturday, October 18, and trounced Harry Jefferson's Aggie Bulldogs from A. and T. College, Greensboro, N. C., to the tune of 26-6.
The Lincoln team showed its superiority during the great part of the game, despite the fact that they were held scoreless during the second half. Hardly had a minute elapsed before like Harrison pounced on the ball after blocking the kick of Rob inson and tallied the first score. LaMar made the score 7-0 by booting the pigskin squarely between the uprights for the extra point.
Shirley Baskerville, fleet halfback, accounted for the second touchdown for the home team. He received a kick and ran 60 yards for a touchdown.
The third touchdown was made by Smith, former Stuyvesant. Hutch School star of New York City, Bennett carried the ball across for Lincoln's other touchdown.
The boys from North Carolina came back with renewed vigor in the third quarter. They pierced the Lincoln line and Charlie Dillard carried it across the goal line after DeBerry had brought it to the 3 foot line.
Stevenson Stars as Tuskegee Beats Talladega
Birmingham: Ala. — "Blackstreak" Ben Stevenson was back into his own Friday afternoon Stevenson, probably the greatest colored football player in the South, led his teammates from Tuskegee to an easy 40-6 victory over Talladega at Legion Field, although he carried the ball only three times. With its big game with Willperforce only a week out at Chicago, Tuskegee held Stevenson out of the majority of the game, but while he was in there Talladega could tell the difference. However Ben was not the only star. Shanklin, J. Johnson, D. Johnson and Robinson all played a nice game
Shanklin made the first two touchdowns for Tuskegee, plowing through the line for the final yardage. On both touchdowns, Stevenson kicked the extra point in mechanical manner. It has been said that Stevenson had not missed a point attempted in two years. He makes every swing perfect, standing still while making the kick.
For Talladgea, Nolan and W. Pitts backfield stars, while Ramson and J. Pitts stood out in the line, Talladega could do little with the Tuskegee first team and its only score was made on the scrubs. Silvery made Talladega's line tally doing the job almost by himself.

Although Mrs. Jackson was not herself an actress, she lived with her daughter, Susie Sutton, now being featured in "The Green Pastures," and their home at 112 West 130th street was the headquarters for many members of the profession. Among those who lived there were the late Sydney Kirpatrick, and his wife, Laura Bowman.

His stage career began about 1900, when he joined the quartet of "Uncle Tom's abun," which was playing his city at that time. Later he was the interlocutor in the Billy Kersand and Richard and Prunel's Georgia Minstrels, and travelled throughout the country with these shows. He also appeared with the old Pekin Stock Company in Chicago, and was soloist with the musical Bayon Brothers. His first vaudeville partner was Tim Owsley, the comedian.
In 1910 when the Lafayette Players were organized into a dramatic stock company, for the Lafayette Theatre, he was one of the first members, and it was in this company that he met Laura Rowman. They were married July 21, 1917 and played together until the Lafayette Players disbanded in 1922. Then they formed the vaudeville team of Karpattick and Rowman and went on a tour of the country. Mr. Karpattick returned to New York to play the part of King Herod in Oscar Wilde's "Salome," which was presented at the Frazer Theatre on Broadway.

Hazel Harrison, pianist, residing in Chicago, came to New York last week and appeared in recital at Town Hall. While she has been board in New York before, this was her first appearance under a formal concert management, being presented by Haensel & Jones of Sidney Hall.
Both auditorium and balcony were well filled when the program started, and late comers well nigh filled all the seating capacity after the first group, so that Miss Harrison's recital took on the proportions of an ovational reception.
It was noteworthy, that in the audience were many of the leading musicians of the city, both white and colored, and it was also observed that while there were many of her own race present, there were more of the Nordics.
The pianist was given a reception on her first entrance that beckoned a friendly and expectant attitude on part of her audience, and it might as well be said now as later that her performance justified that attitude.
Miss Harrison, who is originally from Indiana, first studied in Chicago. Later she went to Berlin and was a pupil of the great Bisoni and Egon Petri. So impressed was Busoni by her worth that he gave her a scholarship. Incidentally, she was in Berlin when the World War started and had to get back to America by various and
She went back to Berlin later for additional study, and during the past summer she was awarded a special scholarship in Chicago for six weeks' study with Percy Grainger, the noted Anglo-Australian pianist and composer. This distinction was won in connection with thirty-two other contestants, and gave her two class lessons daily and three private lessons a week with Mr. Grainger. So it naturally followed that her New York appearance at Town Hall carried more than ordinary interest.
For this recital, she had prepared a new program. It was as follows:
I
Prelude in E Minor ..... Bach-Silotti
Variations on a Theme by Bach ..... Liszt
Bass theme taken from Bach's Cantata, "Weeping, Wail."
(Mass theme taken from Bach's Cantata, Weeping
and Lamentations: are the Christian's Bread of Tears.)
Sonata in B Minor Chopin (allegro maestoso; scherzo molto vivace; largo; finale—, presto non tanto) III
Intermezzo in C. Major ... Brahms

Mass Harrison displayed a ripened and rounded art, a matured understanding and a developed interpretation. While there is a distinct and satisfactory lightening up of tonal quality, there has not been entirely eliminated a tendency to too much fortissimo. On the other hand, the artist has developed a pleasing pianissimo which at
The Prelude which opened the program was played with delicacy and effectiveness, but in the Liszt number. Variations on the Bach theme, there was not the clarity of utterance which the composition demands. The melodic phrases were sharp and clearcut, but the harmonic progressions were not given with distinctness.
In the Chopin Sonata, unfortunately, there was lacking some element of interpretation which the works of that romantic composer always must have to give them their proper value.
The Intermezzi and Rhapsodie by Brahms were delightfully rendered, with, perhaps, a bit too much drawing out and over-emphasizing of the one in C-major. Particularly pleasing was the coloring and witchery of the Elf-Tanz, which won favor with the audience. The Shonimsky composition was pleasing, as were the two Granger number.
Miss Harrison possesses what is near to technical virtuosity, making the most intricate and complicated passages seem easy. In fact, her digital dexterity overcomes with ease the most taxing and difficult compositions. There is an unusual sense of dynamic values in her playing.
But with it all, it would be well if the artist could curb some of her natural inclination to play fortissimo, and particularly so with passages for the left hand, which all too often overshadow the lighter and more delicate phrasing given to the dexter hand.
On the whole, Miss Harrison is well entitled to front ranking in the world of musical artists.
Thelma Brunson's Piano Pupils in 6th Recital
The Thalma Brunson Music Studio at 287 Edgecombe avenue presented its piano pupils in its sixth annual recital, followed by a dance, at the beautiful Alhambra Ballroom, seventh avenue at 126th street, on Thursday evening, October 16.
Miss Brunson's 1930 class numbered 95, and twenty of the pupils speeched on the program. Besides those, seven pupils who are studying with Miss Irene Cheesman, one of Miss Brunson's advanced pupils, were given a chance to show what they could do.
The pupils were assisted by Penman Lovingood, tenor, who sang three groups, of songs with pleasing effect, accompanied by E. Aldana Jackson at the piano.
"Miss Brunson's pupils, as has been remarked in this column on other occasions, usually give most commendable performances and this year was no exception. 'They displayed evidence of careful and intelligent training, and those appearing on the program and their parts with assurance and efficiency.' Miss Cheeseman's pupils, without exception, made a fine showing. A welcome address was delivered by Winston Alexander, and prizes were awarded honor theory pupils by Ms. Minnie Brown. The closing number was the singing Night, with Miss Brunson at the party of pupils. Those pupils of the school taking part in the program, in order of appearance, were Winston Alexander, Dorsh Johnson, Agnes Lawlor, Carrie Broken, Samuel Price, Genevieve Muthill, Frances Herbert.

Lutheran Church Opens Nation-Wide Radio Hour
一
On Thursday, October 2, at 10 o'clock in the evening, the Lutheran Church of the Missouri Symed launched a nationwide hookup over the Columbia Broadcasting System, consisting of twenty-two stations, supplemented by five stations of the Don Lee Unit on the Pacific Coast and seven additional section supplements. It is reported that this is the first denomination to use a paid nationwide network to spread its message. The project is financed by the Lutheran Laymen's League and the International Walther League, an organization of young people's societies in the Lutheran church. These organizations have made plans to have their church represented on the air by a weekly half-hour at 10 p.m. Eastern Time, every Thursday night over the Columbia network. The broadcast will be known as the Lutheran Hour.
Rev. William O Hill of 5 Wood place, Yonkers, who is in charge of a publicity committee among the colored people in the metropolitan district, visited the office of The New York Age, and, in commenting on the project, said "This is indeed a great undertaking. The cost of this hookup will exceed $200,000 a year. That means that for every half-hour of broadcasting the church will spend more than four thousand dollars, will get the help it will get will set their share of the benefits to be derived from this great outlay."
The Lutheran church has been conducting mission work among Negroes for more than half a century. One of its largest fields is in the state of Alabama. It is said that Booker J. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute, was instrumental in bringing the work of the church into that state. Christian day schools are conducted in connection with many of the churches. The denomination maintains three institutions of higher education for the training of Negro boys and girls in the South, namely, a theological seminary in Greensboro, N.C., a teacher's training school in Selma, Ala., and a preparatory school in New Orleans, La.
The Rev. Mr. Hill, who is the pastor of Bethany Lutheran Church in Yonkers, said, "The Lutheran Church is spending approximately two hundred thousand dollars each year for religious and educational work among the people of our race in this country."

4 Smith Brothers Lose First Step In Fight on Will
Alleging that, the same influence which manifested itself when the last will and testament of their late mother, Mrs. Ursuline P. Smith of 648 Lafayette avenue, Brooklyn, was drafted, the four Smith borthers, Worden, Louis Fflank and Bernard, who were disinherited by their mother's will, are now engaged in appealing from what they call a raw decision handed down by Surrogate Leone D. Howell of the, Surrogate's Court, Mincola, L. L. N. Y.
They alleged that although the decision of Surrogate Howell was rendered on October 2, their lawyers, Messrs. Weed and Candler of 80 William street, were not notified until about October 7. They further state that although 33 affidavits were filed by them proving their mother's residence was in Kings County and not in Nassau County, when the October 2 order was rendered the Surrogate stated that since nearly all of the affidavits had been withdrawn he accepted jurisdiction in the estate. As a matter of fact they state that only three affidavits were withdrawn.
Worden Smith, one of the disinherited brothers, further stated to a reporter from The New York Age, that although his attorneys were given by law 15 days in which to file objections, no such time was given them. As proof of this he says that the decision of the judge should have been rendered on October 17, instead of on October 3, just a day after the first decision.
The Surrogate's Decision
The decision handed down on October 2 by Surrogate Howell was as follows: "Nearly all of the affidavits submitted to me in support of the Kings County residence have been withdrawn, and without these affidavits, there is no issue raised and therefore on the papers submitted and such facts as remain after the withdrawal of the affidavits, I accept the decision on the affidavits." The decision handed down by the Surrogate the very next day, October 2, stated in part:
"An application having been made by Worden. A Smith for an order changing the place of probate of the above will from Nassau County to Kings County, and the Surrogate having particularly inquired into all the facts and circumstances, and the Surrogate having found that said testator of the above will from Nassau County on the 22nd day of April, 1930 ... on motion of James A. Warner, attorney for the executors, ordered that said motion to change the place of probate of the above will from Nassau County to Kings county be, and the same hereby is denied.
Under date of October 6, James A. Warner, attorney for the four beneficiaries, William H. Smith Jr. and Theresa B. Thuren and Mrs. Narcie E. Warrick, wrote in part to Marsden B. Candler, attorney for the four brothers.
"Although I presume the Surrogate sent direct to you his opinion on your motion to change the place of probate in the matter of the last Wall and Testament of Ursula P. Smith. I am uninclined to there with the motion but what you have received one
To Appeal Decision.
"As you will recall the Surrogate gave you fifteen (15) days from the date of his decision to file objections to the Will providing his decision was against You. Your time therefore, as I understand it, will expire on the 17th day of October to file such objections."
In his reply to this letter Mr. Candler wrote:
"We acknowledge your favor of October enclosing opinion of the Surrogate.
"We intend to enter an order conforming with his decision and then appeal from it because we find that whereas we filled thirty-three affidavits and only three of them were withdrawn, we do not get the drift of the decision which starts off by retesting that nearly all of the affidavits were withdrawn."
Under date of October 10, notice was sent to Surrogate Blowell by Weed and Chandler that they intended to life an appeal to the Appellate Division. They stated their surprise that the Surrogate should say that nearly all of the affidavits had been withdrawn. The three affidavits which were withdrawn, according to Warden Smith, were signed by Harry C. Burleigh, Vetner C. Murray and Laura C. Walter, Mrs. Walter, he alleged, withdrew her affidavit after being approached by his sister, Mrs. Payne. He charges that she visited all of the signers of the affidavits and is alleged to have intimated to them that unless they withdrew their affidavits they would find themselves in worked in difficulties with the law.
To Fight To End
He charged that his brother William Smith Jr., to whom he refers, as the custodian of St. Philip's Church and tenement house inspector, had capped to he drawn up a four letter which his states was left with some of the signatures to copy and send out to Suffrogate Howell, withdrawing their affidavits. He said that this bold attempt failed however, for only three persons withdrew.
And, now, although the four

IN WOMEN'S REALM
NEWS ABOUT WOMEN
Ruth R. Dennis, Editor
BEAUTY AND HEALTH
It would be foolish to say that any woman can be beautiful, but surely any woman can make her mirror tell a pleasing story, if she wants to, hard enough. Three things make a woman attractive—health, good grooming and making the most of herself.
Good health includes correct posture, daily elimination, proper diet and all the regular habits which give us energy and vitality. Good grooming means clean skin, smooth hair, well kept nails, white teeth and clothing that is neat, well-fitting and appropriate for the occasion.
Last of all, learn to conceal your weak points and emphasize your good ones. Be yourself. Don't attempt to be a carbon copy of some one else. Experiment until you find the most becoming way to do your hair. Choose colors and styles that suit your type. Be very careful about hats.
Of course, your disposition is important, too, for a friendly smile and an interested expression will redeem the plainest features. Yet, even though your friends may appreciate your sterling qualities, they admire even more if you paid a little more attention to your personal appearance?
So if you do not like what your mirror says today, just follow those suggestions, and in a short time your mirror will be the first to admit it.
AN OLD-TIME FRIENDSHIP OR FONDNESS never loses its gloss nor does it ever cease to do the heart good. How delightful it is to take the hand and look into the face of the little, well-doing girl, grown to womanhood, or the fine youth, with his honest manliness, every inch a gentleman.
Stuck to your old friends, old teachers, and to the classes where you learned how to do the most and the best in building your life. Don't neglect your earliest true friends.

Friday evening was given to the cause of education. The chief speakers were Miss Nanne Helen Burroughs of Washington; Goo Clark, president of the Virginia Union University, and Dr. Willis J. Winston of the Northern University, Long Branch. President Sims delivered an annual address, which was far-reaching in its scope and contained many constructive recommendations.
Among the inspirational speakers were Rev I. Arthur Booker, Rev P. W. Phillips, Rev E. J. Matthews, Rev W. Q. Harris, Rev Abner Brown and Rev Franklin of Tarrytown. Rev Callahan, former pastor at Fernandina, Fla. and Birmingham, Ala., preceded during the election of officers. Rev James E.

It is singular that in this enlightened day in this advanced civilization in this the great
est city of the world, there are those careless, sloppy individuals who insist upon throwing garbage out of windows, front and rear who sit with disgusting and vulgar postures in windows; who expectorate all over the streets, lounge around doorways and corners, and indulge in many other disgraceful practices. If they could see themselves as others see them—that alone might shame them. Let us hope this word will help in some way to eradicate some of this.
THE ARRANGEMENT OF APT
The best way to arrange apartments to give them expression is to study light and shade and the combination of drapery, furniture and pictures. Then let the whole atmosphere breathe sociability and comfort and do not give them an isolated air.
See how a room looks, after a number of people have left it, and then as you set things to rights, let the chains and ottomans remain as they were when the room was filled with guests.
Make little studies of these things, and you will give some character to your rooms.
As you enter some rooms the chilling atmosphere is felt at once and almost unconsciously to yourself, you put on a stuff, set demeanor, 'company manners' as they are sometimes called, and you cannot even maintain a cheerful, gay spirit during the entire visit.
Citizens Xmas Cheer Committee Opens Drive
The Citizens Christmas Cheer Committee, Inc. opened its tenth annual drive for funds for their Christmas dinner to the poor with a public meeting Sunday afternoon at the Association of Trade and Commerce, 2570 Seventh Avenue.

POET'S CORNER
Let Not Woman Eer
Complain
Let not woman eer complain
Of inconstancy in love;
Let not woman eer complain,
Fickle man is apt to rove.
Look ahead through nature's range
Nature's mighty law is change;
Ladies, would it not be strange,
Man should then a monster
prove?
Mark the winds, and mark the
skies;
Ocean's ebb and ocean's flow;
Sun and moon but set to rise
Round and moon but set to rise
Why then ask of silly man,
To oppose great Nature's plant.
We'll be constant while we can
You can be no more.
— Robert Burns
The Pact of Peace
Renounced is war; the monstrous evil goes.
No longer men think brother-men their foes
The lifted burden brings such glad release—
All men made free—despair and hate shall cease.
The Pact, in solemn conclave ratified.
Becomes our guiding star. The
world shall bide
At peace from armed strife. Aglow
with thought.
Of splendid works his country men have wrought.
The patriot seeks, now and in future days.
His country's exaltation through the praise
Won in the realms of wisdom and,
of art.
By triumphs of creative brain and
heart.
No land shall lead through wealth
or power of might.
But service all in common weal unite.
And In! A truth divine illumines life's
maze.
Who aids humanity himself doth
raise.
Ladia Wentworth.
Homely Philosophy
Georgia Douglass Jöhnson
Success
Success! everyone wants it.
Everyone wants to better himself,
get something he has not, be some
body. What do you wish? What
would you be? Are you willing to
pay the price? Success is not a
gift but a goal shining in the distance—it must be won!

WIFE EXONERATED FOR SCALDING OF HUSBAND FATALLY Tells Heart-Rending Story of Sixteen Years of Mistreatment
A heartrending story was told at the District Attorney's office on Friday, in Eunice Eversley of 21 East 131th street, when she appeared before Assistant District Attorney Carney to tell her version of the death of husband, Edwin Alphonso Eversley, her former friend at the Hospital on September 26 the result of burns which he said had been inflicted by his wife. At the time of the death, police classified the death as accidental, but the case was moved to Detective Harry Bauer schmidt in charge. The result was the calling of Mrs. Eversley to the District Attorney's office to explain the matter. And when she had finished her work, she moved to go home and the case was had aside for further developments.
Deep Love for Husband
Mrs. Eversley stated that she had been living with her husband for the past 16 years but that they had only been legally married for the last five years. She said that her husband was a heavy drinker, but that her deep love for him, kept her from leaving him. She told how long she had been the early hours of the morning, after being out with other women, and that many times he beat and abused her.
On the night of the scalding, she said that she was lying in bed, and that after 2 o'clock in the morning her husband came in. Without provocation, she said, her husband kicked her in a vital spot and sent her to the bathroom and said that when her husband saw the blood flowing so strongly, he became frightened and ran and got some hot water. Into the water he put some salt, and despite her protestations injected this solution. Threatened With Death
This was so painful she said that she was going to die. She ran after her yelling that he was tired of her, anyway, and that he was going to get rid of her. When he approached the gas stove where another kettle of hot water was steaming away she said that she thought he was going to try and use the remaining hot water on her and in desperation she picked the kettle and threw the water on him.
He yelled in pain and cursed and said that he was going to kill her, so she ran into another room, locking the door behind him. He tried to break down the door but Harlem Hospital to have his burns treated, but that when he came back he was going to kill her. He never came back, for he died in the Harlem Hospital of his injuries on September 226. And the man who was his captain at the funeral establishment of Henry A. Toppin in West 129th street, Mrs Eversley was one of the chief mourners. She kissed the face of her dead husband and embraced him as though he were still alive. Mrs Eversley told by Mrs. Eversley was mixed with the horror of 16 years living with a man who besides being a heavy drinker, was abusive and often maltreated her. But throughout it all she said that she loved him and it was that great love which caused her to be abusive and mistreatment.
She was allowed in 20 home by
her father, and she and
the case was laid aside.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES
Porters Take Look at New Boss
Pullman porters are a severely critical lot at times; and when the individual among them gets in this mood, the first object for criticism, whether the grievance is fancied or real, is his district superintendent. He blames this officer for all of his troubles, regardless of their origin or their character. On the other hand, no-group of Pullman employees are more generous in their laudations of this officer, when he merits it, than the members of this group. There are definite reasons for this situation.
To begin with, the district superintendent is a very important functionary in the Pullman organization. His position in the organization corresponds in many respects with that of a captain in a military organization. And, like the military officer, his word and demeanor in the unit-over which he presides.
It is true, exceptions may be taken to his decisions, and, in such cases, appeal may be made to those of higher authority, a privilege dawned the soldier. Right now, he may be appointed to must first, he obeyed. Appeals are in order after.
Organization is no cautious in filling that position, when made vacant by retirement or death. In any event, respects with that of a captain in a military organization. And, like the military officer, his word and demeanor in the unit-over which he presides.

This authority tends to make the Pullman officer a very august person in his bailiwick. But, on the other hand, with him as with anyone else in authority, he can use it humanely or he can abuse it. He can be the officer of those who follow the latter course, he might compel respect for his office, but never for himself.
That, perhaps, is one of the reasons why the Pullman organi-

About 100 Boy Scouts of the 5th district paraded through the principal streets of Harlem last Thursday evening, headed by St. John's hand as the first feature of the fall rally, which was held in the Community House of Mother Zion American and troop flags, tildy umbrellas, and a large banner. These boys made a deep impression upon the crowds that stronged the streets. St. Philips troop had previously

ization is no cautious in filling that position, when made vacant by retirement or death. In any event, it is an obvious fact, among the eyewitness, that whatever other qualification may possess to be a successful member of a Pullman district he must have the ability of knowing how to handle men.
Maybe not from the company's point of view, but from the employee's viewpoint, some districts are more respectful than others. Take, for example, the New York district. This district has always been more or less fortunate in its superintendents.
Former poiter, who is now connected with a certain labor organization for Pullman poiter, and who has observed conditions in almost all districts, once remarked, in speaking of the subject, "Porters in the New York district are treated like gentlemen in conversation with the treatment accorded the porters in some districts."
However, be that as it may, it is common knowledge that New York porters, as a whole, have had this duty to complain, so far as district superintendent, or cerned. And even though one does come into contact with a porter here and there who is less enthusiastic about the boss than this fellowworkers, the group in this district is more likely to rather fortune in the matter. Recently, a new boss came to the district. And here, again, the goddess of luck favored New York. He commanded a captain the New York district commanding officer. In other words, the rank of this officer in the Pullman management is superior to that of a superintendent, his office is P. T. Ryan, an assistant district superintendent, the company's executive personnel.
Since his advent here, six months ago, porters of the district have been heard to declare that the district has undergone an industrial rejuvenation. Whether the sweeping results of a new broom, is a mooted question. At any rate, comments have been generously expressed as to the managerial qualities of the new boss, despite the fact that he has been here but a short while, and has been a regular part of the last week, however, the porters' group of the district, numbering about 1000 men, had the opportunity for the first time of giving the gentleman the once-over. The occasion was presented at a series of Pullman service meetings, which were held in the company's won two legs on a plaque given by the field executive, but the other troops of the district entered the contests, including songs and
cheers, knot tying, first aid, skin the snake and slap tag, determined that the prize should not become the permanent property of Scout Master Glenn's troop.
True scout spirit prevailed throughout but competition was so keen at times that the judges were put to their wits' end to determine. The final ques-
showed Troops 73/75 of Rush Memorial Church, 7/1, J. Arenell, scoutmaster, to be in the lead by a small margin, with Troops 768 and 731 holding record and third place, respectively.
Lennel L. Foster, of the Victory Life Insurance led in the singing of a number of snappy songs and also acted as one of the judges, along with Wim. Westerfield, a former scout commissioner of D.C., C. and James A. Perry, a veteran Manhattan Scout leader.
Assistant Marshal P. Byron Marshall was in charge of parade and contests.
Plans are under way for a membership drive, when it is hoped that the number of Scouts will be increased to at least a thousand before the end of the current year. There are now about 600 boys celli will be expected that our district will be represented in the pilgrimage to Roosevelt's grave at Oyster Bay this month.

new quarters at Mott Haven Yards.
Matters discussed at the meetings concerned, of course, Pullman business and operation; and, as a capacity information this reporter, "are public publication." Nevertheless, this same attendant was not averse to expressing his opinion regarding the new boss. Inquiry among a dozen or more porters develop practically the same observations. Tersely written they would read like this.
The assistant general manger is a man who presents the qualities that go to make the individual a successful handler of men. Of pleasing countenance and manner with a stature which is diminutive rather than bulky, the new boss, it appears, gives the impression of a man of great ability in his simplicity. A man; as one porter remarked, who seems devoid of pomp and artifice.
Another porter was heard to say that at one of the meetings the men were so pleased with the manner in which Mr. Ryan had spoken and the fairness with which to tolerate his comments, commission, that they plaused him generously at the end of his talk, an exhibition of approval somewhat out of the ordinary for attendance at one of these meetings to indulge in... If comments are any criterions of the kind of think of their new chief officer, then, the new boss of the New York district has been surveyed in a highly complimentary manner,
Picked Up Here and There
The service meetings held by Assistant General Manger P. T. Ryan at Mott Haven Yards last week, furnished the principal topic of the meeting, New York porters for that period. If Mr. Ryan didn't suffer with "burning ears" during the week, then, there is nothing to the old ear-marming fable. The boys certainly privileged to overhear all the nice things they said of him, he no doubt would have been embarrassed. All of which goes to prove that the Pullman porters is an upstart to be privileged to overhear by the right sort of preacher. And by the way, will novelties never cease? Or put it this way. How times have changed! Here the porters were not only the problem of employer, the manner in which these problems may be solved, the faults of employees, and how these might be corrected, but after hearing these things accuse them of being with a fatty inch company. Well, well, what is the company to come?
Retired Porter G. B. Overton, who ran for many years over at the New Haven Lines, is now engaged in the "restaurant business, at the corner of Jamaica and Long Island. A friend reports that the former porter constantly speaks of his old railroad friends, and would be glad to have them visit him, either in person or in other purposes. His place is equipped to serve banquets and luncheons on short notice, said this friend.

Confidence Man Who Fleeced Harlem Tailor Out of $9,300 Arrested by Bauerschmidt, Crosby, After 3 Years
After being a fugitive from justice for three years, Samuel Feldman, (alias Samuel Gordon), was apprehended on September 26 by Detectives Baurschmidt and Crosby, and is being held without bail, awaiting trial for putting over one of the slickest confidence games in the history of the local police.
Feldman fleeced Louis Hackner, (white) proprietor of the Colonial Tailors, Inc., at 2100 Seventh avenue, out of his life's savings of £9,300.
In January, 1927, under the name of Gordon, Feldman came to Hackner and said he was a jeweler and desired to rent desk space and a show window in some store in the vicinity. Hackner offered to rent him a part of his store. The agreement was quickly signed and the "jeweler" soon became a familial figure around the tailor shop.
company and secured the trunk. The trunk he received was not the one that had been checked and it was empty.
Had Switched Checks
It was then that the police was notified and Bauerscnmndt and Crosby, assigned to the case. Their investigation showed that a few hours before Gordon and Hackner checked the supposed trunk of platinum, Gordon had gone to the express company and checked the old empty trunk. This convinced the
Dangling The Bait
After about a month, Gordon began to absent himself from the shop for a period of several days, when he returned he would triumphantly announce to Hackner that he had just-made $150 or a larger sum of money on alleged stolen jewelry. His mysterious trips away from the shop became more frequent, and each time when he returned he announced that he had made a large sum of money.
- Finally, Hackner asked that he be let in on some of the deals and be given a chance to make some extra money. "No, you stick to your trade and I'll stick to mine," was Gordon's first response to the tailor's pleas.
- But after Hackner had begged for several days to be permitted to invest some money in Gordon's business, the "jeweler" agreed to let him in on a deal. When the deal was completed the tailor found that he had made $100.
The in June, 1927, Gordon came to the tailor and told him he had an opportunity to buy $100,000 worth of platinum for $25,000 cash. He told Hackner he would let him in on this, but he must put in as much money that he could get. He tailor found that he could have $9,300. He agreed to turn this sum over to the lavered at his shop.
Stored The Trunk
At a previously arranged date, a large trunk was delivered to the tailor shop, and Gordon selected a piece of platinum from the contents and asked Hackner to go to a jeweler named and have it appraised. This was done, and the tailor appeared satisfied and turned over the money. Later in the day the "jeweler" suggested that the trunk be put in a safe place until such time as its contents could be disposed of. He suggested that the trunk be checked at the Grand Central Station. The tailor agreed and the two men went down town and checked the trunk, and the receipt was turned over to Hackner. After this Gordon appeared at the Harlem shop less frequently, and when Hackner asked when the platinum was to be sold, he was told that the market was not right just now and he must wait.
When Gordon failed to show up at the tailor shop after several weeks, Hackner became suspicious and took his check to the transfer

"I HAVE taken Black-Draught for a long time, and it has helped me wonderfully," writes Misa Theo E. Whitfield, of 1450 Center St., Birmingham, whose picture appears above.
"I would have the sluggish, tired feeling, and not feel equal to my work. I would have a bad taste in my mouth.
"Some one told me to try Black-Draught, which I did. I found it helped me, so when I feel bad and sluggish I take Black-Draught."

company and secured the trunk. The trunk' he received was not the one that had been checked and it was empty.
Had Switched Checks
It was then that the police was notified and Bauerscnmdt and Crosby, assigned to the case. Their investigation showed that a few hours before Gordon and Hacken checked the supposed trunk of platinum, Gordon had gone to the express company and checked the old empty trunk. This convinced the detectives that the whole case was a fraud and that the supposed "jeweler" had been playing upon the credulity of the tailor.
The detectives traced 'Gordon for months, but always seemed to arrived at his hiding place just after he had moved. Finally, however, he was apprehended in Brooklyn working as a tailor. All their efforts to force him to tell what had become of the missing $9,300 have been unsuccessful, and the only satisfaction the victim will get is in seeing Gordon do a long stretch in prison.
YOUNG NEGRO LAD WINS HIGH HONOR AT RUTHERS UNIV John H. Morrow II Gets Phi Beta Kappa With High Class Rating
Hackensack, N. J.—Last week the white press carried a dispatch from Rutgers University, telling of the superb achievement of a Negro student there.
*John H. Morrow II*, 19 year old son of Rev. and Mrs. J. Eugene Morrow of Hackensack, a senior at Rutgers, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, homarary scholastic fraternity.
This young man referred to as "the second edition of Paul Roberson," entered Rutgers in 1927 on a scholarship won in a competitive examination. From the start he excelled and was appointed to the honor school after his first term of his residence there. For the past three years his marks have averaged 94 plus. He majored in languages, and speaks and writes Latin and French fluently.
Mr. Morrow comes from a prominent family. His sister, Nellie K., was the first and only Negro school teacher in the city from 1924-1920. A brother, E. Frederick, formerly of Bowdoin college and a varsity debater there, first achieved national attention last year when an article of his, called "A Black Man in a White World," reached the white press via the Boston Globe. At present he is writing a first novel, "Desires Asunder." Another brother, Eugene Jr., is in the government service.
AMERICA'S TENTH MAN IS OUT IN A NEW EDITION Tribute to Afro-American Printed By Inracial Commission
Atlanta, Ga.—A new edition of "America's Tenth Man," remarkable sixteen-page survey of the Negro's contribution to American history and progress, has just been brought off by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, with headquarters in the Palmer Building in this city. This is the fourth edition of 10,000 copies of this booklet, that the Commission has published, or a total of 40,000 copies, of which more than 30,000 have been distributed, chiefly to school teachers and pupils throughout the country.
Sent Free For Postage
The pamphlet has been widely used as a study text in high schools and has been highly commended by educational leaders of both racta groups. Colored teachers say it fills a long-felt need in their schools, and white teachers that it has great value in giving pupils the basis for more intelligent, fair-minded interracial attitudes.

"Sweet Chariot to Open At Ambassador Thursday
At the Ambassador Theatre on West 49th street, Michael Mindlin will present on Thursday evening October 23, his production of Robert Wilder's new play, "Sweet Charrot." The play represents an interesting plot based upon a hypothetical case of what may have happened if Marcus Garvey had succeeded in his plan to lead the colored race back to Africa.
Frank Wilson, who will be remembered for his excellent work in the Theatre Guild's production of "Mercy," plays a harsh role. He's supported by a large cast of artists which includes Freddie Washington, Vivian Raber, Percy Vergayne, Harrison Blackburn, Billy Andrews and Alex Lovejoy.
Mr. Wilson's work in the role of a breezy-self assured business man, in the first act—the transfigured, inspired preacher in the following sequences, is an excellent portrayal. A choral group of more than sixty voices are heard at intervals throughout the entire play. The Philadelphia papers were enthusiastic in their praise of both the play and the players, predicting a successful run on Broadway. Nicholas Yellanti has supplied "Sweet Chocolate" with six colorful settings, depicting Garvey's office in New York and on board ship bound for Africa; the other scenes are laid in Africa.

English Woman In London Charges Slave Owning In Liberia
London, Eng.—A 'charge' that descendants of American Negro slaves are, now busy in slave owning and slave raiding in Liberia was made October 15, by Lady Simon, wife of Sir John Simon and author of a notable book on slavery. Many of these abuses, she declared in a public address, are being committed not only by private citizens but by Libero-American Negro officials—including those in the highest positions—for private gain. The facts are so clearly established, in Lady Simon's opinion, that the 'American', British and French Governments are morally bound to stamp out the evil.
Slave Trading and Raiding
"From a document in my possession," said Lady Simon, "it is clear that the forthcoming report of the international commission of inquiry will show that natives have been shipped from the West African Coast under conditions hardly distinguishable from slave trading and slave raiding. I think there devolves now upon the United States Government—and to some extent upon the British and French Governments—the responsibility of coming to the aid of the Liberian Republic and offering assistance in bringing about arreaching and adequate reforms, including total abolition of the system under which these grave abuses have admittedly occurred."
Charges of Enforced Labor
Serious charges of enforced labor without pay in Liberia and on recruiting of such unpaid Liberian for services outside the African Republic are now under investigation by an international commission. But the inquiry had been so long delayed after it had been proposed that Liberia had time to remedy the alleged conditions, according to a report on the Foreign Policy Association. It has been charged that Liberia uses compulsory unpaid labor for road-construction and other public works. In some cases, it is alleged, natives had been obliged to work nine months out of the year and also to furnish their own food and tools.
Furthermore, there have been charges of laborers being rounded up in Liberia for work on the rich cocoa plantations of the island of Fernando Po in the Gulf of Guinea, which is governed by the King of Spain.

SOUTHERN CHURCH
URGES CRUSADE
AGAINST LYNCHING
Calls For "Determined
and Unrelenting War
on Barbarism"
Atlanta, Ga.—Expressing the fear that the persistence of lynching is due in no small measure to the failure of religious leaders to impress their people with the heinousness of this crime, the Southern General Conference Commission on Cooperation with the C. M. E. Church has issued an appeal to every pastor in the connection to "ery aloud against this crime of crimes until every community is determined that it must be ended once for all." Meeting in Atlanta a few days ago, just after two lynchings had occurred, the Commission expressed the opinion that the situation is serious in the extreme, and called upon ministers, officers of the law, and all other good citizens to wage "determined and unrelenting war upon this blighting survival of barbarism."
Officers who "weakly or willingly" yield to mobs, according to the Commission, "should be made to feel the full weight of public exercitation, and if possible to answer legally for their breach of public trust"
The paper was signed by Dr. J W Perry, Home Mission secretary, of Nashville, Tenn.; Prof. N. C Newbold, of the State Department of Education, Raleigh, N. C.; Dr. Toddore H Jack, of Emory University, Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. E. C Peters, president of Paine College, Augusta, Ga.; Mrs. J. N McEachern, of Atlanta, and Dr. W W.

Mrs. Blanche A. Beatty Is Out of Tampa Schools
Tampa, Fla.—Investigating a rumor that Mrs. Blanche Armwood 'Beatty, former supervisor of Negro Schools in Tampa and in Hillsborough County, had been discharged from the position of assistant principal at the Booker Washington High Schools here, a Tampa Bulletin representative interview school officials, who said:
"We are unable to give any information regarding the case, but we do say that it was suggested that the assistant principal of the high school, Mrs. Blanche Beatty keep out of the schools for the best possible interests. She will terminate her relationship with the school system here on January 1, but is serving now as supervisor of rural schools for Negroes."
