3 Boys Held For Murder Of Police Harlem Doctors Disagree on Plan Proposed By Rosenwald Fund That Provides For Negro Hospital Here A proposal to establish a hospital for Negroes in Harlem by the Julius Rosenwald Fund has met with divided action on part of the Negro doctors of Harlem.

Send bill to Mr. (Mrs., Miss) ... Address ... (Yearly subscription in U. S., $2—Foreign, $3.) The doctors composing the Manhattan Medical Society have rejected the proposition in most emphatic manner, while the members of the North Harlem Medical Society have voted approval. Representatives of the Rosenwald Fund in the persons of Drs. D. L. Harris and Michael Davis appeared before the Manhattan Society and laid the matter before the group. Dr. James L. Wilson, president, was presiding. The meeting was held in the Association of Trade and Commerce, 2370 Seventh avenue. Dr. Davis, who is medical director of the Fund, explained plans for a survey of the hospital situation in Harlem to be made under auspices of the Hospital Information Bureau of this city with the object of providing added bed space for patients to be attended by their own Negro doctors. Proposal Is Rejected The proposition was discussed by a number of the physicians, including Drs. Charles C. Middleton, Abbre de la, Maynard, Lester N. Brown, Farrow Allen, Louis T. Wright, and others, attacking the proposition as a "Jim crow" movement. Dr. Davis denied that it was the purpose of the Fund to set up such an institution, saying there is no intention to promote a colored hospital in New York. A long letter from Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton, was read by President Wilson, in which the proposal was characterized as "vicious in principle." The letter declared, that "there is no need in New York for such a hospital. The city makes ample provision for the hospitalization of its sick without regard to their race or color." A resolution rejecting the proposal was unanimously adopted. North Harlem Body to Act Later the executive committee of the North Harlem Society met and voted approval of the plan, calling a meeting of the full body to be held Thursday, December 18, at 2327 Seventh avenue. Dr. Peter M. Murray is president of this group. Mr. Rosenwald or his representatives are invited to attend this meeting. The committee declared that the action of the Manhattan Society did not represent the opinion of all the Negro doctors in Harlem. Dr. C. A. Petition, one of the most active members of the North Harlem Society, is outspoken in favor of the project. He said: "No intelligent approach can be made to the proper solution of any problem without first ascertaining the facts in the situation under consideration. This rule is fundamental. Often worthy opportunities for deserved assistance are overlooked and valuable energy is often dissipated on unworthy objectives because of failure to have in hand the facts upon which alone intelligent effort can proceed. Asking For Facts "What are the facts concerning the health situation in Harlem? Is desirable that we know the facts? Can we intelligently proceed in the solution of these problems without the facts? Has it been found advis- Noble Sissle's First American Engagement at Rockland Palace Xmas Eve-Coming From London able in other and similar situations to gather facts before proceeding to recommend remedies? "These are some of the questions which are readily brought to mind by the present effort of the Hospital Information Bureau, an activity of the United Hospital Fund of New York City, to gather facts regarding the health, hospital, clinical and professional assets of Harlem today. "The answer to these questions is to be found in a reference to a part of the report of the Jewish Community Survey of Greater New York published by the Bureau of Jewish Social Research-1928. "When impartial facts bearing on the problem of Negro health, hospital, clinical and professional opportunities in Harlem are gathered they will emphatically justify the recommendation reached by the above mentioned survey as a reasonable program: Hospitals for all patients who need them and for the physicians who are qualified to use them." Noble Sissle's Fi Engagement at Xmas Eve-Con Noble Sissle, who left Broadway at the peak of his popularity—Noble Sissle, whose songs in "Shuffle Along" had an entire nation humming—Noble Sissle, who was one of the featured artists with Lizet, Jim Europe's famous 369th Infantry band during and after the world war-is coming back to New York. He's coming back to this country after a triumphant five-year stay in Paris, London and Monte Carlo, and he's bringing with him one of the greatest jazz organizations of modern times—his internationally famous Les Ambassadeurs Orchestra. He will open his American tour at Rockland Palace on Christmas Eve might, and the largest crowd ever to attend that mammoth place will be on hand to pay homage to a man who has "made the grade" in two continents.

Moton Undergoes Operation At Rochester Hospital Rochester, N. Y.-When Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, came to the Strong Memorial Hospital a few days ago for a consultation with Dr. W. W. Scott, chief of the surgical staff, who had seen him a few years ago at John Hopkins Hospital, it was discovered that a major operation was necessary. The operation was performed on Saturday, December 13, by Dr. Scott and was entirely successful. Dr. Moton spent a good night and was reported sitting along nicely on his bed. He was accompanied to Rochester by Mrs. R. R Moton, his wife, Dr. Walter Gray Crump of New York City, and by Dr. Eugene H. Dibble, ir. of Tuskegee.

Rivers was elected president of the Central Republican Club of the 19th Assembly District at a stormy meeting on Wednesday night, December 10. The expected opposition against the present administration dwindled after heated debate, and the new president was elected by a vote of 72 to 5, making him an almost unanimous choice. Jersey City, N, J—A 19-year-old boy, identified by Policeman Edward Ruark of Jersey City as his assailant two hours before the patrolman died from a bullet wound in the stomach at the Jersey City Medical Center at 4:45 a.m. Saturday, signed a complete confession, according to police, after hours of questioning. According to police, the boy not only branded himself as the policeman's slayer but as a holdup man and leader of a gang of Newark bandits. The confession, it was said, told of the shooting of Ruark on Friday night. The youth, Raymond George, also known as Alfred or Raymond McClane, said he lived at 132 Spruce street, Newark. He and his two companions, Joseph Mitch ell, 15, of 70 West 134th street, and James Williams, 16, of 2548 Eighth avenue, all Negroes, were captured after a spectacular manhunt in the Kearney meadows where they were trapped following the chase from the scene of the shooting in Jersey City.

The expected oppositi ministration dwindled afte new president was elected ing him an almost unanim Harold Forestenzer, a white lawyer, led the opposition and stated that his ticket was being placed in the field because he said the club was dominated by a few members. He made personal attacks on both Alderman Fred R. Moore and Col. Charles W. Filmore, the district leader. David B Costuma, the retiring president, called attention to methods of the opposition, pointing out that they had conducted an underhand campaign against the Republican ticket during the last election, and had been trying for a year to undermine the colored leadership of the district. Stole Club Records "The climax of his speech came when he charged that one of the opposition, Dr. Bernard Lazarus, had sent out a postal card during the recent campaign advising voters to vote against Mr. Rivers for Municipal Justice because he had the backing of Alderman Moore. He also pointed to the stealing of pictures from the walls of the club room, and also the stealing of the club records, as examples of the methods adopted by the opposition. He said a warrant was out and the police were now trying to apprehend the former member of the club who stole the records. Alderman Moore also made a fery speech, in which he characterized both Mr. Forstenzer and Dr. Lazarus as disappointed office seekers and declared that they would not be permitted to disrupt the political organization of the district. Following the voting, the new officers were installed by Mr. Costuma, and brief addresses were by Mr. Rivers and Col. Pitmore. List of New Officers.

In the statement attributed to him by the police, McLain admitted that he had served a term for robbery in Rahway Reformatory and that he feared arrest because the Newark police had questioned him about the recent robbery and were looking for him. He absolved the other two from blame in the shooting. According to police when Policeman Ruark stopped the car and demanded to see the driver's license, one of the youths got out, pointed a gun at Ruark and said "Stick them up". In answer Ruark drew his revolver, but before he could fire the man on the ground fired at him. Patrolman Kelly, Barley and Waldron, in a police car, were nearby. Hearing the shots they dashed up, sent Ruark to hospital and gave chase to the car. As the police gained on the fugitives, they turned their machine into the meadows, running it far from the road.

Mitchell of Charleston, West Va., as minister to Liberia in a session here Wednesday, December 10. Mr. Mitchell is at present business manager of West Virginia State College at Institute, West Va. B. Kapiloff, a wealthy real estate owner, is using race prejudice to sell his 24-family apartment house at 5.30 Riverside Drive, near 122nd street. Mr. Kapiloff is advertising the house for sale or lease to Negroes, thinking thereby to force his white neighbors to buy the house to keep members of the Negro race out of the neighborhood. The apartment house is a six-story red brick building and is in the immediate vicinity of the new Newark Citizens Are Aroused By Attack On Negro School Girl Newark Citizens Are Aroused By Attack On Negro School Girl Newark, N. J—A determined fight has been started here by the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P, and religious and social agencies to bring about the suspension and punishment of two white jantors for alleged attacks on little colored school girls. The alleged attacks came to light only after, one of the girls had been examined and questioned by the late Dr. Leo Granger early in November, who wrote a letter to the Board of Education and the principal of the Belmont avenue school. When this letters were ignored, the N. A. A. C. P, and other organizations became interested. The case was given a preliminary hearing before Judge Simandl in Family Court on December 1 and was postponed. The continued postponement of the case has aroused the entire colored population of Newark. Bandits Holdup Janitor, Roh Bank of $45,000 Kansas City, Mo.—Four unmasked bandits robbed the Interstate National Bank Wednesday, December 10, of currency amounting to $45,000. Austin Young, Negro janitor, arrived at the bank at 7:30 a.m., and was followed in by a man who stuck an automatic pistol in his ribs. His companions held up each of the bank's employees as they came in, waiting in the bank for an hour while waiting in the clock to open the vault, the robbers succeeded up the currency and escaped in two cars. Police Dispensing Food To Poor of Harlem Resent Untrue Criticisms Reported Made at Urban League Statements alleged to have been made at a meeting held at the New York Urban League building last week, charging that food distributed through the Police Department was stale and of poor quality, have aroused the ire of police officials attached to the 28th and 32nd Precincts in Harlem, who declare that not only is the statement untrue, but that it is also a reflection upon the men who are giving freely and willingly of their most earnest efforts to relieve the needs of unemployed poor in Harlem. Not only do they resent the criticisms, which they declare is unjust, but they also declare that the New York Urban League has been "passing the buck" by sending hundreds of cases to the police that should properly be taken care of by the League itself. ban League is alleged to ask the police to send the old man to some other agency, which was not in a position to aid him, but were told that they should not be sending the man around on a wild goose chase to places where he could not be helped. Cases Without Merit Many cases are cited by the officers which have been referred to them by the League without any sort of investigation, and numbers of them have proved to be without merit. Other officers were commended as being worthy, of aid, was found on police investigation to have $1,500 on deposit in a local bank. Another was found to be the owner of two apartment hobbies. An instance of "passing the buck," as the police allege, was the sending of a man 86 years old to the police, who could not give the needed aid. When apprised of this fact, the Ur- $6,000,000 Riverside Baptist Church, known as the Rockefeller Church. It is also reported that John D. Rockefeller jr., owns several parcels of real estate in the vicinity. A young Harlem realty agent stated to a representative of The Ace that a letter had been sent to Mr. Rockefeller telling him that unless he purchased the house it would be sold or rented to Negroes. Advertisements offering the house for sale have been placed in The Ace and other colored papers. STABBED 17 TIMES BY HOSTESS AT WHIST PARTY STABBED 17 TIMES BY HOSTESS AT WHIST PARTY Mrs. Julia Glenn of 44 West 131st street is being held without bail on a charge of felonious assault, on complaint of Mrs. Florence Bowens of the same address. Mrs. Bowen was rushed to Harlem Hospital about 4 a.m. Saturday, December 13, bleeding from 17 stab wounds about the face, left breast, head and leg. According to Mrs. Bowen, she was stabbed by Mrs. Glenn following an argument at a whist party in the latter's home. She could give no reason for the sudden fury of her hostess. Detective Emil Winterhalter investigated the case and placed Mrs. Glenn under arrest. The case will have a hearing in the 12th District Magistrate's Court on Wednesday of this week. Regimental Review By 369th Infantry For Senator Copeland In honor of United States Senator Royal S. Copeland, the 369th Infantry, S. Y. Copeland, the famous "Hell Fighters," will hold a regimental review at the armory, 34 West 143rd street, Saturday evening, December 27. The review will start at 8:20 p. m. under command of Colonel William A. Taylor. ban League is alleged to ask the police to send the old man to some other agency, which was not in a position to aid him, but were told that they should not be sending the man around on a wild goose chase to places where he could not be helped. Over at the 32nd Precinct in West 130th street the officers say they have been getting on an average of five cards a day from the League introducing people who are applying for aid, but they had to advise the people bearing these cards that no introduction is necessary. All requests for aid are taken care of in regular routine and it is not unnecessary that the applicants be sent in by any other agency. Food of Prime Quality Resenting, the charge that the food distributed is of poor quality, the police assert that it is not true, everything given out by the police at their weekly allotment on Fridays is of prime quality. The vegetables include cabbage turnips, carrots, onions, potatoes, and in addition there is rice, coffee sugar, evaporated milk, macaroni, spaghetti, canned goods of various sorts all of which are of the best qualities. The coffee for instance, is the well known brand of Chase and Sanborn, a quality which few of the people would be able ordinarily to buy. The police express themselves in no uncertain terms with regard to these charges, declaring that their services in this particular are entirely voluntary, and that in addition to the service they also contribute regularly from their salaries to the fund which makes it possible to procure the food stuffs. They work long hours loading and unloading the trucks, lugging bags of food weighing sometimes as much as 150 to 200 pounds, and they feed keenly the unwarranted and unjustified criticism. At the 32nd Precinct in West 136th street, 850 families were supplied with baskets of food on Friday, December 12. On the same day, officers of the 28th Precinct, located at 229 West 123rd street, distributed 480 baskets. Some Pretenders Found Speaking of the criticism reported to have been made at the Urban League meeting, officers of the 28th Precinct point to the fact that there are 16,500 men in the Police Department, all on a salary basis, and that the work they are doing to relieve unemployment distress does not entail a dime extra in the way of expense. All service in this particular is free to the people, and they have even secured the truckage service free of cost. They have 1,500 cases enrolled in the 28th Precinct and are making a special plea for a larger issue of supplies so that all worthy cases on their list can be taken care of each week. There are numerous cases of people who seek to take advantage of the situation, but in most cases they were unmasked by the careful investigation which is made by the police. One woman reported that she had six children, but it was discovered that four of them were in Virginia and two were in a home. And the man of the house was working on a part time job. Another woman reported herself as having two children, but they were found to be her son's and not her own. Many of the cases which need specific help are referred to the Board of Child Welfare at 52 Chambers street. With reference to the alleged activities of the New York Urban League, a question is being asked as to what became of some $2,000 raised last year by that organization to be used for supplying food to the poor. It is alleged that only about $275 was, used in supplying baskets an, that the balance was transferred to paying of salaries. The suggestion is made that this money should be returned to charity for which it was originally meant. SOCIAL AND CLUB NEWS Manhattan Personals Charles Hollis is visiting his mother in Norfolk, Va.

Vanity Club Girls Give $10 To Christmas Fund One of the finest answers to the appeal made by The New York Age for contributions to a Christmas fund for aiding the unemployed poor was the contribution of $10 made by the Vanity Girls Social Club, through its recording secretary, Mrs. Olive Mason of 311 West 119th street. Sending post office money order for that amount, Mrs. Mason writes: "Enclosed please find order for $10, which we, the Vanity Girls, wish to donate to, your Christmas Fund for the unemployed or needy. We are just a club of twelve girls, and while a young club, just eight months old, and our funds not large, we wish to give something to others less fortunate. "And while this is not a large donation, we assure you it has come from our hearts. Accept our best wishes for success in this undertaking. VANITY GRRLS," Olive Mason, Recording Secretary."

The object of the campaign is to have everyone in Harlem work to prevent colds and tuberculosis and to have them know that the Health Center and the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee will give information as to where those unable to pay a physician may receive care. Public Schools, No. 139, 103, 68, 5, 89 and 119 among the schools, and social agencies and churches of the district, are cooperating by using literature, posters, motion pictures and talks describing prevention and care. Over 500 posters and almost 10,000 leaflets have already been distributed, and special space for window exhibits has been offered by the following stores: Empire Shoe Store, Eighth avenue near 135th street; Lenox Avenue Department Store, street and avenue Westerly Department Store, Seventh avenue, between 142nd and 143rd streets; The Charleston Shop, 511 Lenox avenue; Pearl Store, 400 Lenox avenue; Koester, Eighth avenue and 129th street, and Henrietta Shop, 2742 Eighth avenue. Public Health Stations. the Hope Mrs. Bethune Was Guest Of Foreign Study Club An evening of evenings was spent on Tuesday, December 9, at the Bahai Center, 119 West 57th street, New York City, by the guests of the Foreign Study Club. Mrs. Cora Calhoun Horne was hostess. As one entered the lecture room one's eye was caught by the warmth and liveliness of color under a flickering light. This proved to be tables with lovely Persian clothes, oriental candle-sticks and many, little delicacies on silver plates. I turned from this to see what new worlds of light could evoke. Realization far excelled anticipation, for the whole wall in front of me was covered with a gorgeous old piece of tapestry. The rest, too, was unique, ni that, in both courti and tints, it likened a waterily. The room was alive with beauty. Mrs. Minta B Trotman opened the meeting with a few words of greeting, after which she presented Mrs. Cora Calhoun Horne, the hostess of the evening. Dressed in black velvet, adorned by a lovely Italian necklace and pendant, our hostess seemed to have heen the finishing touch to our picture. The guest speaker needed no introduction, for all there, had heard her and knew what a great treat was in store for them. Neither did she need particular heralding for hadn't. Floyd Gibbons done when along with the names of forty-two other women, the name Mary Carrell came over the air. Ida Tarbell's measuring rod of people's attentions places Mrs. Bethune among the fifty greatest women of America. Dr. Neither, in presenting Dr. Einstein to the radio audience said, "It was a supreme joy to the Jewish people to have as one of them, Albert Einstein." The women of our group feel that way about Mary McLeod Bethune. There was nothing left then but for our hostess to entertain us with reminiscences of delightful times spent basking in the sunshine of Mrs. Bethune's host of admirers. The visit to Vassar as the guest of the president, entertained by the faculty and later by the student body and finally with Vassar girls as maids-in-waiting being put to bed in Matthew Vassar's bed....these words were some of the highlights of what our hostess terms the most thrilling trip she has ever taken with Mrs. Bethune: With a twinkle in her eye, Mrs. Bethune said it was so strange to her to be speaking of Cuba. She who was so purely American would feel more at home speaking about Georgia or Alabama, or of the Bethune-Cookman College of --- ain 'sho'! ain 'mighty po'! us Eve dey might in de night? die Cops so mean!)

MERRY CHRISTMAS 1910 MEAU CHRISTMAS with its joy and good will—why not extend its spirit over the whole year? The fund from the sale of Christmas seals in December will carry help and education against tuberculosis throughout all 1931. The National, State & Local Tuberculosis Associations of the United States Buy Christmas Seals Fight Tuberculosis udent. However with her interesting experiences and personal charm, Mrs. Bethune delighted her audience with a very colorful picture of Cuba. A very interesting aspect of race discrimination was brought out by the speaker. If you are of white complexion, you are white; if a brown or darker complexion, you are Negro. There is no feeling of superity or inferiority of one group to the other but the Cuban feels that it is much more pleasing to the eye and makes for a much more harmonious family if people like complexion marry. In business relationships, there is no discrimination whatever. Cuba. I glean is very much ahead of us here in New York City in the educational field. The government has erected an enormous and beautiful trade school for the boys who come from homes in which the monthly income is less than one hundred dollars. Ground has been broken for a similar school for girls. The Cuban people recognize the importance of equipping the youth of the masses with the trades of the community.

If such a survey and hospital project promise to contribute any iota toward the wellbelonging of the race and the abatement of the ravages of disease in this city, no political advantage or personal disagreement should be suffered to stand in the way. POLICE AND THE PUBLIC. Recent reflections upon the integrity of members of the police force, growing out of the vice situation revealed in the inquiry instigated into the conduct of the magistrates courts of New York City, brought out earnest protest in the shape of a full page advertisement paid for under a resolution of the Patrolman's Benevolent Association. It was addressed to the Good People of the City of New York and told plainly and simply how the criticisms of the police in the public press had prompted the representatives of the sixteen thousand five hundred and ninety-nine patrolmen to protest against the insinuations that tended to undermine public confidence in the force, because of the alleged shortcomings of less than one quarter of one per cent of its number. The problem that confronts the police of New York is peculiar to this city, which is at once the centre of a metropolitan district of double its numbers and the objective of millions seeking work or amusement. It is called a hub of the world, which demands a type of police duty without a parallel. This city has attracted from the four quarters the hold-up man, the burglar, the theft, the confidence man and other violators of the law. The police force constitutes the thin blue line that makes the barrier between the lawabiding citizen and the criminal. London Office: Gortgage's Agency, No. 12 Green Street Lieutenant Square, London, W. C. 2. Addres all letters and all checks and money orders payable to THE NEW YORK AGE If we remember correctly, there is an old saw or rather sinister significance, to the effect that when doctors disagree the patient is apt to die. The diverse opinions voiced by some Harlem physicians on the proposal for a survey of health conditions in that section to be conducted by the Julius Rosenwald Fund of Chicago, furnishes an example of this kind. The plans for the survey, as set forth by Dr. Davis, medical director of the Rosenwald Fund, provided that it was to be made under the auspices of the Hospital Information Bureau of this city, the object being to provide additional hospital accommodations for Negro doctors to care for their private patients. At a special meeting of the Manhattan Medical Society, called to consider this proposition, it was unanimously rejected, the chief arguments advanced by its opponents being that the small number of private patients which each doctor had did not warrant such a survey. The idea of such a special survey was also attacked as involving a "Jim Crow" policy looking toward the establishment of a hospital for Negroes only. Dr. Davis denied any intention of this kind and said that the Rosenwald Fund had no idea of promoting any colored hospital in New York City. How strenuous the efforts to force that barrier was shown by the fact that no less than nineteen members of the police were killed while on duty during the past twelve months. That was almost double the average number for the ten preceding years. Scores of other policemen have been injured in their efforts to enforce the laws and protect the public. The average patrolman is pictured as more than a law-abiding citizen. He is shown as a man of family, living up to his responsibilities, both public and private. He appreciates the obligations of his oath as an officer and strives to fulfill those obligations. He knows that there are a few of his associates who have been unable to resist the temptations encountered. But to condemn the whole force for those violations would be the same as to condemn the church, the state or business for exceptional failures out of thousands of conscious followers. This is the answer of the patrolmen of New York City to the insinuations of wholesale corruption and graft among their ranks. The resolution adopted by the Manhattan Medical Society in rejecting the survey termed the proposal, "uninvited, uncalled-for and unnecessary." That politics was involved in the matter was indicated by the reading of a letter written by Ferdinand, Q. Morton, Civil Service Commissioner and head of the United Colored Democracy, in which he denounced the proposal as "vicious in principle" and one to be defeated. He declared that there was no need for such a hospital in New York, as the city makes ample provision for the hospitalization of its sick without regard to their race or color, and that colored physicians enjoy equality of opportunity in our hospitals. That there is another and more favorable view held of the Rosenwald proposal was shown by the action of the executive committee of the North-Harlem Medi-Society, which voted its approval of the survey and any donations that might be tendered toward the support of colored hospitals. The committee decided to invite representatives of the Fund to speak at the next meeting of the society. It was stated on behalf of the committee that the decision of the Manhattan Medical Society does not represent the opinion of all the Negro physicians in Harlem. The invitation to make the survey was extended to many physicians who are members of both societies. Besides this, there is a large number not affiliated with either society, many of whom are said to be in favor of the projected survey. There has also cropped out a disposition among a certain class of welfare workers to criticise the manner in which the police have handled the distribution of food and clothing among the unemployed of Harlem. It has been suggested that instead of handing out large packages of food, money should be given to the applicants for relief so that they could purchase as need required at local grocers. Allegations were made of discourteous treatment at the hands of those charged with the task of interviewing applicants at the station houses. On the other hand Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, in a receipt sermon, took occasion to praise the practical Christianity manifested in New York today, through the medium of Mayor Walker's committee and the Police department. Many of the policemen were said to be working day and night, seeking to locate families in distress and trying to give relief where it is, most needed. A prominent school teacher told of the prompt, attention given by the police to a list of needy applicants for aid; with early investigation of each individual case and the issuance of immediate supplies where the circumstances warranted. The health situation in Harlem is so acute that there is need for all the aid that philanthropy and science can give in ameliorating the suffering of the sick and afflicted and stopping the spread of disease. No human agency working toward these ends should be rejected or rudely rebuffed; from joining in such a humanitarian movement. That the head of a segregated political organization like the United Colored Democracy, should denounce such an offer, because it involves separate accommodations for those suffering from disease, while he upholds a separate organization in politics, appears to be a trifle inconsistent. But then consistency ceases to be a virtue when it runs counted to politics. In a city like New York, with all its cosmopolitan population and its public institutions open to all races, we still find special institutions devoted to the special needs of different races. The Jews, the Italians, the Germans, the Swedes maintain their separate hospitals, raise money to support them and appeal for aid to the general public. If Negro physicians and their patients decide that a hospital specially dedicated to the service of the race is necessary and expedient, they have a perfect right to establish and maintain an institution of that special nature and to The police should be given credit for handling a hard problem with exceptional speed and alacrity. There may not be that degree of suavity and blandness that some captious individuals demand, as police methods savor more of directness and getting at the facts of the case. But the figures show that in one week over twenty thousand bags of food were distributed to needy families. The police should be commended for the general results achieved through their concerted efforts of relief, rather than criticised for unintentional grievance or the failure to do things in some other way than that adopted. MISUSE OF MERIT SYSTEM. In a recent issue of the New York Times, Dr. Kelly Miller of Howard Lm- versity took issue with an editorial published in a previous issue on the merit system, in which the gratifying extension of that system to Federal employees during the past fifty years was pointed out. Dr. Miller admitted that under the Presidency of Grover Cleveland and the commissionership of Theodore Roosevelt, absolute fairness was guaranteed to every applicant without regard to religion, race or color. But in later years, he insisted, a radical change has been made in the civil service machinery. He added: While the letter of the law may be technically kept, the spirit is ruthlessly violated, so far as the colored applicant is concerned. He may index, take the civil service examination and pass with the highest average, be appointed to a position when it comes to appointment. Applicants are identified by photographs. The slightest show of pigment would defeat an Einstein should he report for assignment. Under the regulations, three names must be certified to the appointing officer. If one applicant is found to have a device would be found to frustrate their hopes. Instances are on record where the photograph has failed to reveal racial identity, but as soon as this was discovered the applicant was openly or artfully refused appointment. Government invites all citizens to open competition for civil service positions, but cheats the colored applicant, out of the fruits of competitive success. The Times appended an editorial note Dr. Miller's letter in which it said that according to a report issued by the Department of Labor, 51,882 Negroes were in the Federal payroll on June 30, 1928, with salaries aggregating $64,483,133; the corresponding figures for 1910, according to the Times, were $12,456,760. While these figures show a decided increase in the number of colored government employees, they do not constitute an effective contradiction of Dr. Miller's barges, which apply especially to the higher grades of service and to administrative and technical positions.

MOTON COMMITTEE REPORT The outcome of the special commission led by Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee institute, which was sent to Haiti to conduct an educational survey of the needs that Island was contained in the report The outcome of the special commission headed by Dr. R. R. Moton of Tukeagee Institute, which was sent to Haiti to conduct an educational survey of the needs of that Island, was contained in the report made public last week by Secretary Stimson. The outstanding recommendation of the report was that the service technique, which has been the cause of much dissatisfaction because of the highhanded policy of the Americans in charge, be combined with the national school system of Haiti. That financial aid administrative aid be given in developing an adequate system of public education. It was also urged that a permanent joint commission be established, composed of Negro Americans and Haitians, to formulate plans for the combination of the two educational systems and to advise how the two governments may cooperate in carrying out other recommendations of the commission. It was recommended that a grant be made from the United States Treasury to aid Haiti in the development of an adequate educational system, or the arranging of a loan at low interest from private sources in this country for that purpose. It also suggested that President Hoover use his good offices to encourage private philanthropy to aid education in Haiti. It was declared that from a financial point of view education in Haiti had been worse off under the American occupation than under exclusive Haitian control, the portion of annual appropriations for the national school system declining progressively. The setting up of a separate system of primary schools was declared a mistake and the fears of the Haitians that the service technique intended to supplant the national school system appeared to be justified. This latter service was, judged by Haitian standards, extravagant and beyond the capacity of the national treasury to support. It was planned on too elaborate a scale, with too many Americans at high salaries. It also failed to cooperate with or acknowledge the authority of the Haitian government. The commission found, however, that there was a pressing need for the type of service inaugurated under the service technique, and that real progress had been made in laying the foundation for agricultural and industrial development. The motives of the leaders of this work were considered beyond question, although it had been difficult for them to obtain the cooperation of the Haitian people because of the evil effect of the occupation. The Haitian leaders were declared open to criticism because of their neglect in affording educational opportunities to the rural population and for over emphasis on the cultural branches of education and apparent lack of concern for the welfare of the masses. A change of attitude was called for on the part of officials of the 'American occupation, especially those representing the service technique, from one of independent self-sufficiency to one of interested and sympathetic cooperation. Such an attitude, it was felt, would meet with such a response from the Haitian leaders COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS in education and government, as would stimulate the work of that department and make it a force for enlightenment instead of an object for suspicion. The fact that Norfolk citizens contributed several thousand dollars more than the minimum set for the Community Chest Fund, moved the Norfolk Journal and Guide to conclude that the community was "Better Off Than We Supposed." It added: A part of this organization was the Colored Division, under Dr. S. Francis Coppage, chairman. This, or more intimately speaking, our group deserves not only the praise but the gratitude of the whole community, $4,500, which must be considered, in a strict sense, the cleanings, since colored men and women working in the industries—and these constitute a majority of those of us who are gainfully, employed—contributed through other channels under the campaign set-up, for convenience and facility in putting over the equipment in operating with the six colored agencies in the Community Fund approximates $11,000 however, the money paid by the workers of our group in the industries, and much more under the plan, finally back to meet our group needs. The Colored Division exceeded its 1990 goal of $500. This in itself is an achievement worthy of comment in a year such we have been passing through. It demonstrates that our group, as distinguished from the whole, has also been motivated by the quickened conscience in the present emergency, and like the whole has responded to the whole. Our co-workers of assistants and co-workers have done a solident job and deserve the hearty commendations of the community. Norfolk is apparently one of the increasing number of cities, where the Community Cheat plan works smoothly and efficiently. And now the editor of the Pittsburgh Cowherd proposes to eliminate Christmas cards from the scheme of holiday rejoicing, but with this plausible argument, as follows: Truly this period of unemployment has its virtues. From the lips of a solicitor who came in to see us the other day fell these words: "Why don't you eliminate your costly Christmas cards this year and send them to employment?" Needless to say, we agree that precious Christmas cards this year are entirely out of place. We decided to forego the luxury and the expense and donate the cost to the cause of unemployment. Not a bad idea, we thought and we still that we only not a bad idea of we think it as an excellent idea that we pass it on here to our readers. It is easy to conclude that among our own personal acquaintances we know of thousands of 'dollars' spent every Christmas for costly Christmas cards to be sent to our loved ones and our friends included in our circle of selfishness. In fact, we can remember from our last Christmas editions a high price for a high stationery and engraving, but downright extravagance. We, ourselves, have been guilty of this very extravagance. But this is a different season. This is an unusual year and the approach of Christmas suggests unpredictable changes in the amount of dollars may be properly and wisely diverted from costly Christmas cards into a worthy charity fund which will help to some extent to relieve the unusual condition of pennies and bills that are prevalent in our land. We are going to longboard Christmas cards this year. We are not asking anybody else to do so, but we justify our own course by saving to our many readers that the commendable and the satisfaction of our friends gone an unnecessary luxury for the benefit of someone who may be heeded thereby more than repays us for saying to our friends this year "Merry Christmas" and sending that message a card not so costly as herefore. How about the number of people who make a few dollars at this season by designing or vending these greeting cards? Must they join the ranks of the unemployed? Under the heading of "The Political - Football," the Philadelphia Triumph, indulged in the following simulations as to what this Congress will do about reappointment. Reappointment of House representation will in all probability give the lame ducks in the present Congress their last opportunity to play representative aliens and Negroes. Representative aliens and Negroes, which will lose Representatives under the new census figures, will attempt to exclude aliens from the reappointment count to prevent gains in certain industrial States. Representatives met on the same Representatives in industrial States to reduce representation in Southern States in proportion to the disfranchisement of Negroes in this States. It is to be observed that the Southern Representatives are nine to take the offensive to exclude the aliens. Representative Tinkham, Massachusetts Republican, says: "If an attentive is made to exclude it from the forcement of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and will propose reduction in representation in proportion to the disfranchisement of the Fourteenth Amendment, the fight for the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment is, therefore, dependent upon how well the South succeeds in curtailing Eastern influence from the reappointment count. In The members of the Moton Commission appear to have done some close observation and clear thinking in their survey of the educational needs of Haiti. other words it is to be used as a threat, a thing to trade with. If you do not interfere with our aliens we will let you do as you dawn please with the Negro and the Constitution. The Philadelphia editor does not take much stock in this Republican threat to reduce Southern representation, as it is merely used as a football of politics. That all was not harmony in the United Brothers of Friendship and Sitters of the Mysterious, Ten, a fraternal order flourishing in Texas, was shown by a news article in the Houston Freeman, which said: W. F. Bledsoe, it appears nowadays, is floored, or knocked out every time he goes to bat, and that certainly looks funny when it is known that for 38 years and more on a dead dominated and bored the U. B. F. Grand Lodge and S. M. T. Grand Temple of Texas. The trouble that started on Wednesday, July 23, 1929, at Beaumont, Texas, and that was partially completed in New Hope Baptist Church, Waco, Texas, on Saturday, May 1, when he was denied a grand master's degree again on the 4th of this month when he went into the district court of Harrison County at Marshall, alleging that W. L. Davis, his successor in office, and C. H. McGruder, grand secretary were serving as such contrary to the instructions of Texas H. he proceeded in junction and asked Judge Reuben A. Hall, presiding judge, to restrain W. L. Davis, grand master, and C. H. McGruder, grand secretary, from using the money $36,000—hostial funds that had been collected at Marshall and from exercising and performing the duties of grand master and grand secretary. The law firm, Johnson and Peden of Houston, assisted by State Senator Thomas B., Love of Dallas, presented Davis and McGruder, Johnson and Peden developed the case, but, in order to protect the attorneys immediately they chose Attorney Love, who lived closer to Marshall, to handle the case in the district court of Harrison County. Bledsoe was demurred out of court and Peden developed a case, which led to the revived civil statutes of Texas, 1925, which reads: "No application for injunction against, or proceedings for the dissolution of, or the appointment of a receiver for any domestic society (that is, fraternity) shall be entertained by court in the state unless the same is brought by the attorney general." Bledsoe gave notice of appeal, but his opponents called it merely four-fluushing. As he put up a bond for one thousand dollars to begin the action, the grand lodge may have recourse for damages. Reviewing the various remedies proposed to relieve business depression, especially the advice to "Buy Now" to speed up production, the Winston-Salem Post, added the following suggestion. Why is it that some of our cure-all doctors do not prescribe some tonic for our employers. We are able to day workeres and buy Buy Now." It would like to remain at home instead of going elsewhere to seek means of earning daily bread for themselves and their loved ones. A drowning man would like to be able to it be correspondent for some our large corporations reduce their rates of earnings to their dividend payment reserves and their various and Sunday other reserves temporarily, so that they might and the little fellows help in the return of prosperity. It may be good economics to check production a little, so that our interproduction, situation might be consumed. In the opinion of the writer this is a time to make permanent improvements to properties of all kinds. Spending all that one earns, lower wages, longer hours and the like will increase his income facing us today, but consideration on the part of both the employer and employee will go a long way. And the North Carolina 'editor made his suggestion more emphatic by heading his article "Employ Now!" In extending congratulations to the National Benefit Life Insurance Company on its thirty-second anniversary, the Washington World said. Aside from the fact that this company has faithfully fulfilled its obligations to its policyholders, providing thousands of estates to those who would have money in a time of need, the National Benefit "Life Insurance company has done two things to the race. First, they have enriched thousands of our people in various parts of the country. Secondly, they have assisted in the financing of Negro business projects, which in turn provide employment for other thousands of the race. Just how important it is to have a financial institution for employment and assist Negro race people realize. Any insurance company will pay a claim, but how many will hire your son and daughter, save your bank, finance your lodge hall, or guide your business through financial situations? That kind of work that the National Benefit Company does. We mention it here so that our people can realize what a service this company is performing.

Business has increased a great deal the past couple of months and instead of employing additional help employees have compelled their employees to work a considerable number of hours overtime. If they do then in most cases they are sure of losing their jobs and join the other millions, in walking the streets while employers employ other workers in salary for the same long working hours. In my opinion and for the good of the American nation and an example to the entire world the government should intervene. Let us hope these business men will hink" a little more and not more than eight hours, and employees more than eight hours, and they would employ new help for the extra hours needed for the completion of the day's task.

By THEARCHER Those who have birthdays in the group for this week should try to think well before they speak or write, and to avoid legal matters if possible, as these matters will bring about unhappiness and injury to the reputation. Those who are patient will find that their hopes and plans will come out alright in the end, and will not lose friends through impatience. News of relatives and friends will come to nearly every one of this group. December 20 begins a birthyear that will require courage, careful judgement, and patience in the speech and actions. Changes will come to the family circle and through the employment. New plans, removals, and changes are not favored, and it is best that those of today hold to what they have. Pro-vidential help will come at the time of greatest need though friends. Legal matters are not favored. Those who begin another birthyear on December 21 will hear some news or a woman that will bring unhappiness, but only if those of today have done or said something or did. The speech and writings are sensitive points for disaster to those who do not think before speaking or writing. Many worth while opportunities will come. Mental occupations and professions are favored for those who begin another birthyear on December 23. Worthwhile changes in the employment of others should be carefully considered, and the tendency to spend more than is earned will only bring worry and trouble. The year is really worth while to those who plan carefully in financial matters. December 23 begins another good birthyear for those who can think and plan carefully and avoid change or removals, or enterprises so well favored, and those who are already in business should be careful to avoid loss through fire or other causes.

Extracts from his remarks were "Everything now is debated, but there are some subjects which should not be discussed. Clarence Dartow wanted to debate with a the priest the subject, I Respond with all of the Catholic Church Read this they forbid the priest to enter into the discussion. If religion is not necessary let the world show a better life than a Christian life. Let them show a way of comforting face and the dying in the hospital, let them go to the graveyard and in a better way comfort those who mourn; let the world find a better way than Christians, then reason won't be necessary. "They won't be braven and not know when you were converted, Nicolemene didn't know Jesus told him to marry him." was a great man to he had great compassion; he was a graduate of both the Greek and Hebrew schools, and a Roman citizen, no one knows how Paul became a Roman citizen, he being a Jew. Some say his father received a gift from the king because of valiant services during conflict but when Paul was asked to marry him, he was, I was freeborn so his father, too, must have been a citizen. Another reason for the great conversion was. Paul was a great sorcerer, he persecuted the Church, but confessed, was guilty of the death of Stephen and confessed. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shuu be saved! Let Mr. Darrow argue, and the magazine write what they want to, but there is no other way, Trust and obey!

PARADISE BAP. CHURCH A wonderful crowd greeted our pastor Rev. H, W. Stanley, who has been absent for the past two weeks. He chose for his subject: "The Accursed, Fig Tree," Matthew 21:19. He illustrated this beautiful parable in the form of a miracle, showing how Jesus, upon returning from Bethany to Jerusalem, food. Seeing a fig tree in its most beautiful bloom, He went to it and found only leaves. It was too early to expect fruit yet Jesus, according to Matthew and Mark, was angry at the poor tree and cursed it with fire. He went to the fence and forevermore. Presently the fig tree withered away. Then the beautifully compared the parable of the fig tree with the human race, telling of our deception to ourselves and others by posing as real children, bearing no good names, which are love, Faith, Hope and Charity. As Rev. Staples concluded this wonderful discourse every heart burned for he was so sincere in his most successful effort to bring the Word to his people. Rev. H. W. Staples reappeared on the scene with a subject of great interest and spirit, "The Silent Betrayer."

Old Sol. hid himself all day and the day throughout was cold, threatening and dreary, yet at 11 a.m. a full church and eager throng were present to hear the pastor, Rev. D. W. Warn Nichols, reach from the church at 11:20 P.M. with he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he endured at seeing him who is invisible." Subject, "Leadership." The speaker laid for his foundation the necessity of leadership, stating that in all ages men have looked up to and followed leaders whether in peace or war. Said he. Such an element being so important with responsibility to noble deeds and aspirations, a leader must possess certain qualities without which inevitable failure will be the result. I wish to bring to your notice not a Napoleon, no a Caesar, but a Moses who possesses to an eminent degree the characteristics of a leader. "Said he," a leader should possess to an outstanding degree the following qualities, to wit: Courage. He pictured Moses as being a member of the household of one of the greatest dynasties of earth—rich and powerful on the land. On every hand Moses was surrounded with luxury and comfort. But he chose to suffer with his people. He preferred to be a man rather than to be a monkey. His life reminds me of Jane Adams of Chicago, another long-lost monkey. We knew the life. The best way to be of service to people is to get down on a level with them. That is why so many social workers are failures. They failed to do that and when they do help, think they are bestowing love and courage we would never have heard of him. "I tell you it takes a man of courage to stand up against public sentiment, against the howling mob Lincoln once saw a little Negro girl on an auction block. He then made a resolve, and when the opportunity presented itself, had the courage to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. If you know that you are right why go ahead. "For" he ary array of courage. "For" Church of God. Be courageous. "Thy saints in all this glorious war shall conquer though the yde." A leader should have vision. Hear the text: "He endured, seeing him who is invisible." Moses saw the burning bush. He saw the exiciencies of life every true born child of God must have a vision, must fee the power of God burning in his soul. Have the vision They see the trumpet from afar, leader should have vision. Although you yet he was not wholly disappointed for God permitted him to view the promised land from Nebo's summit and angels buried him there. The sermon was listened to with rapt attention. It was a spiritual attentive treat. The Sunday school was well attended at 3 p. m. At 4 p. m. Mr. Ryley, dramatic singer, was present and was received with a welcome. At 6 p. m. Charles E. Toney, judge, identified an address, replete with wholesome instructions. At the evening service the pastor discussed the subject, "Faith". Dinners are still being served from the church from 3 to 7 p.m. On last Friday a bountiful meal was served to 107 persons. Besides, groceries and wearing apparel were sent out to a number of persons. Emanuel is endearing to do her bit in this time of stress and strain. We will tell you more about the Macedonian cry to the healthy in pocket and healthy in purse SILOAM PRES. CHURCH Trying to build people is the aim of Dr. George Shippen Stark Pastor of Sloan, and the church in all its boards and organizations is endeavoring with him to do this work, and so in anticipating its activities for the coming year, is building its program to expand, their scope of work more broadly, meet needs in the church and build particularly those in the immediate vicinity for which the church feels its responsibility.

He demonstrated the calmness and meekness with which He endured His agony. The silent betrayer, disclosed inadvertently upon his behalf, cried the betrayal by silence. We are tempted to betray our Lord by silence amongst His people and in the world where His people are not known. In conclusion he urged us all to be strong in our profession that we can tell the world that we are Christians and real Christians. After this wonderful sermon beautiful echoes arose from the choir rostrum completing the service. On Friday evening, December 26, the Sunday school will present their Christmas musical. We have on our sick list Sis Etta Davis; Lincoln Hospital; and Bro. Hardy, 185 Lenox avenue. It will come to all work and work with us. ST. MARTIN'S CHAPEL " Enter yo in at the straight gate " was the sermon subject of Rev. J. H. Johnson's discourse. His theme was taken from the 13th and 14th verses of the 7th chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel. " Wide is the gate that leaps to destruction " Rev. Johnson said. The gate is a man's choice in the world. The choice is either take up the Cross, your duty, things that require self-control, or follow " multitude of people to destruction. " To his appreciative audience his advice is " Don't follow others, make your own way. Young people are shared with a series of open doors in life. Later in life become limited. Therefore make the right choice early, the way of self-denial, the hard way, the difficult way, the way of Jesus Christ. " Rev. Johnson closed with two beautiful and meaningful quotations. " Life is a wrestle with the devil and only the frivolous seek to escape. " A man's heart deviets his works but the Lord directeth his steps. " ST. JAMES PRES. CHURCH The fifty invitations issued by the pastor and officers of St. James Church to social workers of the city and welfare agencies working with Negroes in Harlem met with cordial response as indicated by a number of witnesses, finally presented at the morning service last Sunday—Social Workers' Day. Preceding the pastoral address—"The Social Disease of Unemployment"—time was allotted, representatives from several of these agencies sent their slant on the unemployment crisis, how it has affected Harlem and what is being done to relieve same. This was the third annual service of this kind held in St. James and, as usual, brought out a large and appreciative audience. The addresses were written in a formal and dignified manner. In the evening the Christmas hymn service was unusually interesting with pastoral exposition of "Notable Hymna and Carols of the Christmas".

OLIVET CHURCH Sunday morning, December 14, the church was well filled. The assistant pastor, Rev. A. A. Cornewren, preached from Micah 6:18. "And what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with my people, and to them was God the Requirement." Requirement. He told how the people of Judah were forced to turn away from the true God in worship idols of the Othman of Venus and gross immorality; of the gruesome sacrifices of infants, of bounty laws and of punishment for those who claimed to be inspired from God. He told how churches were built by the common people, how bribery in churches should be discounted; how church people should give up hatred, prejudice and violence against each other. The sermon was a stirring message and very inspiring. Officers of the Juvenile U.S. Board, newly organized by Mrs. Maitie Burge, were installed by the assistant pastor. The teacher of the Philiashes Bible Class, gave a wonderful discourse on ancient history of the Bible. He will return to the class in January. He will be greatly missed! Rev Cornpree spoke to a full house on the subject. Am a Briar II, B. Y. P. U. He also spoke of the economic problem among Negroes and outlined a plan. At the evening service, the assistant pastor preached from Exodus 29.12: "And then shall take the blood of the lion upon the horns of the allie with the infiner, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar." He spoke of sacrifice of beasts and how blood had to be spilled by the Lansh of for the remission of S. S. and how blood received the right hand of fellowship, followed by Commissary service. T /15. material contrast between the structures with which (Booker T. Washington) began and the present great, simple and commodious phase in modernism striking to be enough for one man to bring about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an important measure of Mr. Washington's work and achievement. The education and admiration turning out of two or three hundred young men and women or lives useful to themselves and their families is of course a most considerable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and ought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like Tuskagee the light of the homely but ever living truths which must form the basis of real advance for his race, or any race—WILLIAM HOWARD TAPT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court.

About 300 basketball fans journeyed from Harlem to the Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night to see them in the Renaissance Five do battle with their rivals, the Brooklyn Nets. There was hardly one that made a number who did not expect the Rens to come through with points, though but they were doomed to a dismal disappointment. With such stars as Ricks, Cooper, Jenkin and Sorril, Brennan and Reiley opposing each other, the game was expected to be—regardless who won the most interesting and exciting so far this season. But the stars of the Renaissance went into immediate collapse and remained in the shade until the game was practically over. Brenner, Sailah the three-piece player, can always be depended on to come through in the games across to the occasion and proved the hero of the game. Through his superb work he was responsible for the first ten points of his team scored on the excessive heaves all of which tailed. At the end of the first half his teammates were only able to pull 3 points making the count 13 to 20. The colored box seemed undunted and their followers lived on the hope that they would find themselves in the second half and come from behind to win as they have done so Welcome to New York NOBLE SISSLE (Ace of Syncopation) AND HIS Les.

There was very little betting before the games started in before they resumed hot matches. Some additions we gave were offered 4 to 1 against the Renaissance notwithstanding the difference was only a matter of 7 points. We there were those who could not resist the temptation and tell for it to the tune of saving amounts, such odds also served to make others some their skeptism as to the up and up of the whole affair. With us there is no doubt that the Renaissance was sent out there to own and did try to win, but that strange metamorphoses that we have witnessed before, on the Renaissance took place again, and that fine smoother the working machine that made their World's Colored Champions, looked no better than the Clown they entertained a new night before. With the game last drawing to a close and the Virtuous enamoring a safe lead Rock was able to reach the basket for 3 goals. Cooper was snapped under by Seil and all his efforts to score were vain.

On Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino, Frank Hawk the only non-arm basketball player in the game was the attraction.

The game ended in favor of the Renaissance 47 to 29. It was announced that the Renaissance will meet the Visitation in a return engagement at the Renaissance Casino on Christmas night.

"RUBE" FOSTER BASEBALL MOGUL DIED DECEMBER 10 Pioneer Negro Baseball Promoter, Had Breakdown 2 Years Ago Chicago, JH — Andrew "Robe" Foster, one of the most colored figures in colored baseball died at Kankakee, JH on December 19 after an illness of two years. He suffered a nervous breakdown two years ago and had been confined to a hospital since that time. The late Mr. Foster was the founder and for many years president of the National Negro Baseball League, composed of teams, eight cities at the Middle West and South. He also founded the American League. Chicago's entry in the League. He was born in Calgary, Texas, September 17, 1870 and started his coil career with the Fort Worth Yellow Jackets in 1892, as a pitcher. He got his first northern trial with Frank I. LeBlanc's Giants in Chicago in 1901. After a year with LeBlanc, Leister went east to play with the Philadelphia Cuban Giants, then owned by F. R. Lamer. He later returned to the LeBlanc Giants, and played with his club until his own team was organized in 1900. Umpire services were held Sunday afternoon from St. Mark's M. L.

The game was Carlson's, from the very start. Larry Johnson, heavyweight, seceded a knockout victory over Jack Cagney of Boston THE NEW YORK AGE CREEN entary Games BASEBALL NOTES Editor's Note—Sol White, former member of the original Cuban Guants and manager of the Philadelphia Guants of two generations ago, is one of the oldest and best authorities in the country on Negro baseball. He will contribute a series of articles for the baseball tans of The Age. By SQL WHITE We had no baseball league in the East last season, but we sure lamped some mighty fine games during this year of 1930. The outstanding contests of the season were those staged on the grounds of the Yankee Stadium between the Lansdowne Giants of New York, Black Box of Baltimore and the Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh. A lumpup of that palatial ball park is well worth the price of admission to any ball game. We are hoping to see more contests between the colored teams at the same place next season. Now is the time for men of the race to take hold of this grand old game and push it up to where it belong. The Yankee Stadium was secured last season through the efforts of Roy Lamaster, a race man, and we are in position to know that it can be secured again for the same purpose. It doesn't take a million dollars to start a baseball team. We know of no safer investment; for a few thousand dollars, at this time than stock in a team of race players that can and would stunt their stuff on grounds at the Yankee Stadium. We hope some of our business men will see the light and take some action. We learn that all the boys are home from Cuba where they have been playing in the winter league. They report a very dull season financially. Charles Smith, hard, hard, hard right fielder of the Lincoln Giants may not be able to pay ball next season. He is now in a hospital undergoing treatment to a complication of diseases that may blight his entire career as a ball player. Next week we expect to give the readers of The Age an incident or two about the Original Cuban Giants, featuring Arthur Thomas, six feet four inches catcher. Jinx Pursues Kid Chocolate—Loses Title Bout Friday Kal Chocolate, the flashy Cuban raided in his attempt to win the world, featherweight title at Madison Square Garden last Friday night. The defending champion, Battling Battalion, made such a game unshake after being floored in the first round that the judges refused to take his title, although most of the experts at the ringside as well as the majors of the 15000 fans present, thought that Chocolate had scored the most points. It was the "Needs" third defeat in a row and his manager has decided on another long rest for him, in an effort to shake off the bad luck that seems to be pursuant, the young Cuban. as indicated by the rapid scoring during the first period. Carlton scored 21 points during the first half of the game while Central Queens scored six. During the second half the rangs entered on the Central Queens team, came through with ten points, which helped a great deal in their final drive for victory. However, the home hosts held them in check. Carlton scored 14 points during the second half of play while Central Queens scored eighteen points.

VAUDEVILLE BY GUS SMITH At The Lafayette Theatre Large and appreciative audiences are showing unbounded delight at the reunion of the two best-known colored comedians on the American stage—Flournoy Miller, and Aubrey Lyles. After a separation of several months, during which Miller wrote comedy situations for Lew Lyles's "Blackbirds", they are partners again and are appearing as the headline attraction at the Lafayette this week with a delightful musical comedy staged by Irvin C. Miller and Donald Heywood. Miller and Lyles appear in three comedy situations which had the audience fairly clinging their sides with laughter at the opening matinee on Saturday. It just seems as if these two men are at their very best and funniest when working together The most prominent member of the supporting cast is Edin Witlow star of, "At Rhythm" and of Connie's Inn. At Saturday's, matinee, she was called upon to sing six songs before the audience permitted her to geture. Pretty little Margaret Simms also does very fine work. The years that have passed since she appeared in "Shuffle, Along" have added to her beauty and increased her charm both as a singer and a dancer. The chorus goes through some of the finest dancing which Iryn Miller has ever staged—and that's covering a lot of territory. The feature picture being presented with "Red Pastures" is "The Last of the Long Wolf." Bert Lytell is the star. "SIRATOGA CLUB Next Week And now the management of the Lafayette Theatre writes that it is happy to announce the presentation of an enlarged version of Casner Holstein's "Club Saratoga Revue," show being presented at this popular Lenox-Avenue night club is a lavishly produced, funny, sparkling revue.

Grant Witherls' is the star and is ably supported by some of the best-known stage and screen celebrities. At The Alhambra What a program it is at the Alhambra this week! The original Snake Hips takes the honors in a richly staged presentation of "Night Club-Stars", and the Kid Chocolate championship fight with Bat Battalino is seen in the clear and distinct official motion pictures taken at the ring side at Madison Square Garden. Snake Hips has some startling new dances with Bessie Dudley, his super partner, and it is easy to understand why they are a sensation at Connie's Inn. The Cotton Club's comedy stars, Swain and Lee, are famous on the radio too, and many people consider them tunner than Anos and Andy, Jemine Dancer's songs in their own unique manner. Joyce and Rookie have all new and immensely popular songs, dances and fun. Dainty Alice Andrews is much liked, and Roscoe "Red" Summons with his quick wit keeps things speeded up.

Viola McCoy, record singer and dashing favorite of the night clubs, has an art with Troi Brown the bulky comedian popularly known as "Bear," that is said to be something to be remembered. Others notable in next week's cast will be Willie Jackson, Marjorie Hubbard, and the dancers, Joe Banke and Cornbread. The Red Slipper Dancing girls will provide an ensemble of youth, beauties and grate. Henry B. Walthall, that veteran of the screen, with Helen Ferguson and George Duryea, in the romantic talkie "In Old California," brings the charm of romantic Spanish days in the southwest to life again, with all their lure of hidden gold. $782.95 Net Profit Mrs. M.

The poll will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. "CAUTION" When voting, members must vote for the full number in each column, otherwise the column is void. Therefore you must be careful in marking your ballot, carefully checking it before you deposit it in the ballot box, and thus avoid your time and effort to vote being wasted. To be specific, mark your ballot for your persons for the Governing Board, nine for the Trial Board two for delegates to the A. F. of M. and one for the Central Trades and Labor Council! This election is somewhat history making, as it is the first time in the records of Local 602 or in that of its predecessor, Local 510 now denotes that colored poll clerks have been used. Yes, Arnold Bolden and R P Outram will function with many others, white, poll clerks at the election. Of course you know that Bert Hall of the progressive Rhythm Club is again running for office on the Trial Board. Last year Bert polled a promising vote and this year all of his friends predict he will hit the bull's eye. Don't fail to go and vote. Here is another Local 602 item. Bert Hall and Pere Ostram have been appointed the local to an on-site Board of the Relief Committee now rendering financial assistance to unemployed workers $10,000 has been set aside for the relief fund and is being distributed. in conjunction with the $10,000 the "Concerning Board has granted permission for concerns, dances and midnight performances to be given the proceeds of which are to be dis- tributed to the unemployed. These benefit performances are to be stoo- pended by prominent and influential partners. State the official journal of Local 102 The Relief Committee meets every Monday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Retiring from my appointment on the committee it was a great suppor- ture and I knew not nor had an impression of the age. For phone Saturday morning December 15, 1 THE NEW YORK AGE Gabriel's Funeral was called and told of my appointment. So far this Sunday night, I have not even had the opportunity to thank Mr. Canavan or the Wolverine Board for the confidence, expressed by the appointment, in my capacity to render service. The Relief Committee has had several sessions. Not having sat in any of these meetings, I now feel free to comment on the attitude of some musicians who previously have had and worked. But there ended their interest in Local 802 Electron followed election, meeting after meeting and very few of these musicians took the trouble to vote or attend the meetings. Yet when the Relief Committee started to distribute the $10,000 some of these birds were right there in hand. And not one of them was turned away empty handed. I understand. It's no disgrace to be in hard look and appealing for aid in an honorable way. Better, that than a hold up. But one should feel self-conscious at visiting a friend only in time of need. Names of persons who have appealed for aid, or those hereafter who might amply, will be a sealed book in every way as far as the writer is concerned. Money has been set aside and is being distributed to unemployed musicians regardless of race or creed. If you need help, go down to Local 502 and get it. John H. Lone, violinist, conductor of the Coleridge-Taylor Ensemble, has impressed gratitude for remarks made in this column concerning the concert in them Grace Church en December 7. He writes: "Since I read your article concerning our concert Sunday, I have been trying to find words of thanks to send to you, but have been unsuccessful in finding the words desired. So I will just say thanks a lot for it. But those aren't enough to explain to you all my feelings I have about the future, we cannot foretell, but our object is a permanent concert orchestra. Our hope is that some one with money will take interest in us and endow the organization so that its members may devote their entire time to an attempt toward perfection. As you know, real musicians cannot give good account of themselves on their instruments when they must do a point of wear. The next month's rent is the next month's rent is coming. I could go on indelinitely telling you these drawbacks, but I think you know most of them. "So it is our desire to have men like you, and your paper, to go forward in a determined drive to help us gain our purpose." Thanks, Mr. Conductor; for your kind letter. This column and The Age have always and will always give assistance in any possible manner. Call on if you think we can help. May success attend your endeavors. Let consistent persistence be your motto.

EALM OUT WOMEN NEWS ABOUT WOMEN Ruth R. Dennis, Editor BEAUTY AND HEALTH By OLIVIA D. TUCKER Pharmacist and Chemist Black and Blue Spots Occasionally, now and again, a young miss or a gentleman shows up in the drug store with a conspicuous black or blue spot just under the eye. The customer usually states that it was caused by walking up into a door, or that they fell down, or rather any excuse except that of being hit into the eye during a spat. However, they seem usually to be a little embarrassed, and their greatest desire is "that the druggist shall-assist them in having the spot removed. Black and blue spots which are often a purplish color too, are often a bump or bruise with makes the skin where force has met that place of contact. Nature will take care of them, but they can be rather embarrassing, and as a matter of fact, too embarrassing for the average person to wait. If the bruise is very severe, the best thing to do is to consult a medical doctor, not a druggist. For I have known a case where the loss of an eye has resulted from this type of neglect. But if it is a very mild case one or two hints at the right time will help. a great deal To prevent a black and blue spot, use cold water as soon as possible after the injury. Lay a cloth saturated with cold water on the bruise and renew it as it dries or gets warm. This will check the discoloration. A bruise caused by a fall (on knee, elbow, etc) may be sore as well but an blue In this case hot water will blow out a piece of flannel in water as you can bear and hold it over the bruise "Repeat as it cools. This will ease the soreness and it is preferable to liniment if the discoloration has already begun. Lastly a little witch hazel with arnica is also very effective This should be applied over the bruised parts with a little cotton. Christmas Candies Christmas would not be Christmas without home made candies, and yet a box is always an inexpensive and yet welcome gift. Christmas is only a short distance away, so let us get our candy made out of the way. Any of the following are easy to make and delicious.

Buckman If hunger had not been so fierce in me, And if my arms had ached a trifle less, If I had known that you were mine to take. And waited for my sign in eagerness, I'd not be looking wastful now. Agog to catch your merest casual glance. And calling it to tremble from sweet ache And cherish in my heart, what any chance Acquaintance might be showered with I'd not be seeing in this book Your face, aloot, upon the printed words, Homely Philosophy Georgia Douglass Johnson Loneliness Being lonely is like death. It is a premature walling in—a cold isolation. The remedy is to make friends. Friends warm the atmosphere, make the heart beat quicker, give wider horizons. That, thoughtfulness of others, and a stifling of selfish thoughts and act help death. Condone yourself with choice friends, choice books, choice thoughts. In spite of the seeming blindness of youth there seems to be a gradual awakening as to its real business of life on the part of the more serious minded. This is being evinced from time to time by different efforts made to solve our present remedial theories on vital questions concerning the welfare of the race. Another attempt will be made shortly to call together men and women, students of different colleges, teachers and other leaders into a public forum. This forum will discuss and become conversant with the pertinent race, questions of the day. Miss Ruth Ford, that very well qualified and ambitious 'Hunter senior, will have charge of this getting together and elsewhere in this section is an announcement of the class. I was given to understand that the forum is to consist of representatives from all groups and classes so if you are interested, no matter what your occupation or education just get in touch with Miss Ford or fellow The Age every week and keep informed of our movements. In this day of vacuum cleaners, the old broom still holds her own and the following are some directions which will assist in making her work more effective: I: brooms are dipped into boiling suds once a week they will become very tough and will last much longer, and sweep as well as a new broom after each dipping. A handful or two of salt sprinkled upon a carpet will carry the dust along with it, and make the carpet look bright and clean. A very dusty carpet can be cleaned by setting a pair of cold water by the door and dipping the broom lightly into it, shaking off all the drops, and then sweeping a few wards with it. Repeat the process until the carpet is all swept and you will be surprised to note how soiled the water becomes. Snow sprinkled on a carpet crug and sweep off before it has time to melt it is also an excellent way to clean it. Indian meal slightly dampened, can also be used with satisfactory results. Daily Happenings Among the Girls At Hunter College By RUTH FORD OF SENIOR CLASS Whether Nationalism or Assimilation will solve the Negro problem was the question raised at the meeting of the International Student Association Friday, December 12. Those advocating Nationalism cited instances where the Negro had through segregating himself, earned rights that he would not have earned otherwise. The Nationalistic movement was represented as making the Negro definetly race conscious through organizations run entirely by Negroes. Those, however, who advocated Assimilation tell that the Negro should not be imposed as a separate race, but as a part of the one human race. Sweep down starts with a small paint brush.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES Yuletide Travel Expected to Ease Situation Pullman business is expected to awaken this week from the lethargy into which it has fallen for the past two months. That is the hope, at least, of Pullman officials and office clerks who have charge of supplying porters with work. The city welfare worker may have his heartaches in dealing with the unemployed, may have his ears dinned from morning to night with their cries of woe, but for all that he has little just now these Pullman men who are in charge of such terming points as Mott Harbor and the Grand Central District and Sunnyside Yards of the Pennsylvania Terminal District. For the next three weeks, however, business is expected to be of such volume that the situation will be considerably improved. With the holiday traveling which will be done by students of the large colleges and schools, and Yuletide travel that will naturally develop, despite the hard times, these officials and clerks should be able to enjoy a respite from In spite of the fact that more than fifty per cent of the porters employed in the Mott Haven District in summer have been forloughed in by the number of idle porters to be seen day after day in the district's assignment office is something distressing to witness. The writer hasn't any definite knowledge of why this year's porters were forloughed by District and how its extra men are faring; but taking the reports of our correspondent, Mr. Reid, of that territory, times are equal—which are faithfully distributed. Since the unemployment situation has become intense the Centre is using original helpful means by which actual real has been obtained, in addition, the distribution of clothing and bakery goods given each week. $52,000 Raised By Negroes For New Dallas Y. M. C. A. Dallas, Texas.—The Moorland Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association of this city has established a new record of cash collections from colored people on the new building, which they are about to enter. Two years ago, a building campaign was conducted under the direction of Robert J. Drummertz of the National Institute of York, in which the colored people were asked to raise at least $50,000. An amount in excess of that figure was subscribed, with Dr. J W Anderson making a contribution of $2500, the largest gift of any colored man to a YMCA or similar campaign. Up to that point, the colored people had paid $40,000 of the amount subscribed, and under the leadership of Mr Drummertz entered a campaign to collect the balance of $10,000 before entering the new building Dr. Anderson was made chairman of the committee, Dr. R. T. Hammond, the executive, and Charles T. Brackins chairman of the Special Grills, Committee. Dr. Anderson himself made an additional contribution of $2,500 bringing the total amount of his cash contribution to $10,000. Last Monday, the -campaign ended with the result of $11,254 collections on the part of collections on the part colored type of $11,254. The building will be formally opened in January. Leon W. Steward, formerly of St. Louis, is the executive, secretary. Mr. DeFranz has conducted all of the building campaigns of the YM. M. T. A. for the past seven years, and amounts as high as $150,000 have been subject in single campaigns, but Dallas marks the greatest of his achievements in a cash effort. Bishop Payne Divinity School To Move To Raleigh, N. C. At a conference of Negro cleremen and educators of the Protestant Episcopal Church, held at St. Martin's P. E. Chapel, the Rev. John Howard Johnson, year ago, on Monday evening, December 8, it was voted to move the School from Peterstown, Va. to Raleigh, N.C. The conference also voted to conduct a $10,000 drive among the churches for the support and maintenance of this work. The conference, was welcomed to the church by the Rev. John Howard Johnson and the Rev. Samuel W. Peterson, the Rev. Joseph Those who made addresses were Wallace Battlefield, secretary of the American Church Institute; the Rev. Dr. H. C.

With the holiday traveling which will be done at large colleges and schools, and Yuletide travel that will naturally develop, despite the hard times, these officials and clerks should be able to enjoy a respite from stories and anguished-looking jaces—for several weeks anyway. A sign-out clerk, for instance, in a large Eastern district was heard to declare recently that if things didn't improve shortly around his office he would either have to quit job, or of going crazy. "These are poor drivers driving me mad. They stand around with long faces, expecting work that you cannot supply. If it were only hard times with us, you could say, find another job, the situation on the same every time. No really feel them. It is no easy job being a sign-out clerk these days," declared that young man. Speaking recently with a Pullman representative, whose duties are largely in connection with the situation, he said many times, he said the only thing he saw in which the situation could be alleviated would be for the regular porters to lay-off one day a week, in addition to regular lay-overs. This plan, he thought, by giving the situation somewhat, by giving the extra porters something to do. Continuing, he said this plan had been tried out West among the porters, and so far had proven quite satisfactory. He would not commit himself, however, as to how, he thought, the Eastern porters would accept the plan. He mattered the matter to several New York internets in the impression they conveyed was that the plan would not be looked upon with favor, although admitting that this appears to be a rather selfish attitude. For the next: three, or may be four weeks, the subject need not give anyone much concern, but antes that, unless all the indications remain valid, store for the coming winter months, something along this line will have to be done. As a ten-year porter, who is on the extra list, despite his time in service, remarked last week, "No one is making more than he can use these days, no matter what is his reason, but it is a period of sacrifice. If he doesn't feel inclined to make some sort of sacrifice in behalf of his brother and fellowworker, isn't much of a man." In any event it seems as though the porters will have to share with one another in the present depression the same as other group of workers. It will all depend on the manner in which they care to be. The one who would be to do it voluntarily rather than by compulsory methods, was how one Pullman official briefly put it. Picked Up Here and There Frank H. Cook, who worked at one time as a Pullman porter in the Jersey Northern District, was found dead on Wednesday morning, December 31 in a tattoo shop run by Max Hitler, at 346 Wep 90th street. So far as could be learned, the dead man had no family or near relatives in this city. The fact that he had at one time been employed in the Pullman service, came to light on in- ASPIRIN Bayer Tablets Aspirin Genuine DEMAND LOOK for the name Bayer and the word genuine on the package as pictured above when you buy Aspirin.

No facts were given as to the nature of the injuries rounding the former porter's death other than mentioned. Inquiry disclosed, however, that since leaving the Pullman employ, nine years ago, Cook had led somewhat of a nomadic existence, so far as employment was concerned. Further evidence were held from Dade 'Brothers' Funeral Home, Seventh avenue, on Monday, December & S. J. Freeman, who is usually the Pullman representative in such cases, was among those present. Penn Terminal Notes By J. T. REID J. D. Bamister, our travelling instructor, with us again last week and save the boys a wonderful talk. We are always glad to have him as his years of experience place him by our side. We are also able to take great pride in telling us of his past. We should feel very proud that the Pullman Company has assigned one of our group to this important position and we hope that when our old friend is away, that service of our group will receive the appointment. Of course this will be deeply largely on the record left behind by Mr. Bamister. So it will be up to us to carry out the instructions given by us by our colleague, the Pullman Company that we appreciate their selection. The grim monster death has again invaded our ranks and removed from our midst our brother and co-workers William H. Harper, who has for 8 years been a member of the great fullman family. These 8 years have brought him to a new bonding friendship. He was a link in the chain of members that 'comprise the Pullman Porter's Benefit Association, an organization dedicated to charity and benevolence.' In this Association he was a man of influence and power over the P. T. Dixter join with his family and host of friends in this hour of sadness. We extend to the widow our deepest sympathy for the loss of her beloved husband. It does seem trace to be cut down in youth, in strength and cut of manhood, but God knows best her brother porter beyond the river where sorrows shall be no more. We have just received the following porters via transfer from Denver, Colorado: P. Hamhhe, J. A. Price, J. Moore, No. 2, W. J. Norton, J. C. Leatherman and R. O. Warner from Kansas Giv Moe J. Routen, Z. Williams, McKenzie M. Bofft, P. Warner, O. J. Ienkins, T. Gufford, Luke Thomas, E. L. Winston, Eura Smith and J. L. Golden. A good many of these men were with its last year but I am here to tell our another year and they should prepare ourselves for a hard grind. For unless business picks up I am afraid that they are not going to do so well. However, I understand that they had nothing to do at their home districts so they shouldn't feel badly here if they are not going to do so well. The Philadelphia schedule has changed again. Wonder if the P. R. will ever be satisfied with the operation of these trains. Instructor Redd has his hair cut. Wonder what's going to happen. He sees for it.

Church on Thursday, December 11. The convention opened in regular form with Mrs. Mary Edwards presiding and business was transacted. The afternoon was given over to the election of delegates. In commenting on the election; Mrs. Brawner said; "Never before in the history of the Conference Branch, and I have been a member for 22 years, was there such an election. The president, Mrs. Mary Edwards, selected for delegates: her entire staff of officers and their executive board and placed their names on a ballot with a ring around them for the members of the Conference Branch to elect "Heretofore," said Mrs. Brawer, "there have always been blanks given out to the members and they are privileged to vote for the ones of their choice. But this time the president would not allow that to be done. The ballots which they had to use were given out about two hours before the election by Mrs. Lillian J. Johnson and when we were organized and ready to go in to the election, a question was raised as to the ballots that we were to use. "The president said that we were to use the ballots that we had or we could write on the floor. A great number of the members contended that they would vote for the ones of their choice, and so they wrote their names on the back of the ballot which the president had secured and the result was that more than 30 ballots were thrown out by the secretary and tellers. Mrs. Emily Kinch and Mrs. Beckett. "The result was that all of the president's staff of officers was elected just as she wanted and the others' names who were chosen by the majority of the Conference Branch was thrown out.

"We are living in an age of intelligence and slavery has passed and we are demanding a clean cut christian leadership and one that we can honor and respect. Unless something is done in the near future the Missionary Societies in New York will be no more for we as christian workers are tired of giving our money and labor for the cause of missions and so-called christian women going around the world at our expense. "We are asking through this valuable paper that the bishop of the First Episcopal District visit our conference once in a while and also the president of the parent body. Perhaps they can in a great measure stop some of these political traits."

Jack McCarty, white, complainant, who lives at 100 West 71st street, testified that he had heard a great deal about Harlem, and was anxious to come up and look around. He said that he invited his friend, George Cotrell, white, to accompany him. He further stated that when they reached 135th street, near Lenox avenue, they were held up by two unknown colored men and robbed. They went to the 32nd street precinct and reported the holdup and gave a description of the men. By this time they decided that they had seen enough, and after borrowing carfare from a police officer started home. When they reached the West 135th street subway station they were accosted by two colored men, said McCarty, and invited to go to 217 West 140th street, because they could have a good time. McCarty said that he believed that these were the two men who robbed him.
