COLORED MEMBERS ADDED Tuskegee Raid Condemned and Commission Appointed to Investigate Conditions Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 24.—(Special.)—Condemnation of recent threats against Tuskegee Institute and the appointment of a committee to look further into that situation, reports of a wide range of activities in the interest of better conditions and better race relations, the adoption of vigorous resolutions against lynching and a pledge to keep up the fight till this great evil is eradicated, and the addition of a number of leading colored men and women to its membership were among the most important features of the annual meeting of the Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation, which was held in Asheville, N. C., July 31-Aug. 2. Reports from the headquarters staff and the eight field secretaries indicated that a vast amount of work was in progress throughout the South, and that in many quarters very gratifying results have been attained. Great numbers of new high schools were reported as the result of inter-racial cooperation, some of them costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hospitals, libraries, parks and playgrounds have been provided, better traveling facilities secured, the interest of powerful religious, commercial and civic bodies enlisted, mob violence prosecuted, lynching and threatened riots prevented, minor injustices corrected, and the message of good will presented in many of the leading white colleges and universities to groups of editors and to great church and civic bodies. The press, white and colored, has also co-operated widely. A significant feature of the meeting was the presence of official representatives of the organized women of the Metodist, Baptist, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Christian and Congregational churches. These all reported that their several organizations, with an aggregate membership of hundreds of thousands, were stydying the question of race relations and some of them already systematically at work in this field. Many club women also have been enlisted. A leading feature of the work of the woman's section is a determination and unremitting warfare on lynching. Next to the actual achievements reported, the most notable feature of the meeting was the high character and standing of its personnel. There were bishops, college presidents, mission board officials, dutinguished ministers, lawyers, Y. M. C. A. secretaries, men of big business interests, and women prominent in church, club and social circles. Both races and every Southern state were represented in the attendance of more than fifty. Representing the colored group were Bishop R. E. Jones, Bishop George C. Clements, Dr. John Hope, Robert E. Clay, J. T. Hodges, Dr. James Bond, Dr. H. T. S. Johnson, W. W. Hadnott, Booker T. Washington, Mrs. Lary McLeod Bethune, Mrs. John Hope, Mrs. H. L. McCrory, Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett, Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown and Mrs. Marion Wilkerson. The seven last named were added to the membership of the Commission, as were also Bishop J. S. Flipper, Bishop K. G. Finley, H. E. Barry and C. C. Pauldung. Other colored members of the Commission are Dr. R. M. Moton, Dr. Isaac Fisher, R. L. Smith and Dr. John M. Gandy. Relative to the parade of masked men at Tuskegee the Commission said: "We deplore and condemn such action on the part of men masked or unmasked, in this day and time, wherever they may occur and whatever may be the cause, as being an offense against Christian civilization and as subversive of every principle of democracy upon which our government and the peace and happiness of all of our people, whether white or black, depends." A special commission was appointed to look fully into the Tuskegee sit- THE MONITOR MASONIC GRAND LODGE ELECTS OFFICERS Makes Donations to Several Worthy Causes and Selects Alliance for Next Annual Meeting.

OUR NEW OLD FOLKS' HOME WOMEN PLEDGE UTMOST EFFORT IN ANTI-LYNCHING WAR WOMEN PLEDGE UTMOST EFFORT IN ANTI-LYNCHING WAR Inter-Racial Commission Group Sets Out on Definite Crusade To Eradicate this Great Evil. Will Seek Co-operation of Organized Womanhood of Whole South. At Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 24. — (Special. At the recent annual meeting of the Commission of Inter-Racial Co-operation, the woman's section of the Commission brought in a vigorous paper on lynching and asked the Commission to authorize that the matter be brought to the attention of the various women's organizations of the South and that they all be asked to co-operate in a sustained and systematic effort to eradicate this great evil. The Commission, which has been constantly at work toward the same end, gladly gave its approval to the plan by unanimously adopting the resolutions presented by the women. Mr. B. S. Sutton has been added to the Monitor staff. He will act as circulation manager, advertising solicitor and will also look after the collections. There are many outstanding subscriptions due and subscribers will confer a great favor by having their subscriptions ready when he calls. Mr. Sutton has already secured a large number of new subscribers. He is a capable and courteous gentleman and as such is quite an addition to The Monitor staff. GARVEY ENTITLED TO BAIL, CLAIM OF HIS ATTORNEYS Washington, D. C., Aug. 24. — Concerning bail for Marcus Garvey, Henry L. Johnson, who with Wm. C. Matthews of Boston is retained now as attorney, says: "By every rule of law and reason, Marcus Garvey is entitled to bail pending his appeal to Circuit Court of Appeals for the reversal of judgment of the District Court convicting him. "The denial of bail to Marcus Garvey was in largest measure produced by the admission of illegal testimony; that is to say, the district attorney produced allegations that Garvey's organization had na arsenal and weapons for offense and that directly or indirectly his sympathizers had engaged in diverse threats upon the lives of the trial judge and the district attorney. None of this was proved but was allowed to go in. "Emma Goldman was admitted to bail on a far more serious offense than Garvey's conviction. Big Bill Haywood was admitted to bail, and there is no earthly comparison between the thing for which Garvey was convicted and the enormity of the charge against Bill Haywood." "In my judgment, the denial of bail to Garvey in the circumstances is far more dangerous than all the crimes ever charged against Marcus Garvey." GOES ON AN EXTENDED TRIP Mrs. William H. Ransom, associate grand matron of the Order of the Eastern Star and deputy worthy counselor of the Court of Calanthe, left Wednesday night for an extended trip to Chicago, Louisville, Ky., and other Kentucky points. She will be gone for two months. PROPER PLENDID THE OLD FOLKS' HOME DRIVE COMPLETE SUCCESS Sufficient Funds Are Raised to Meet First Payment on Desirable Build- ing for Housing Those Who May Need Its Shelter. The Negro Women's Christian Association is pleased to announce that the Financial Drive which it has been making since July 22 for funds with which to make a first payment on a new building at 933 North Twenty-fifth street was a complete success. The payment of $3,000 was met on August 21 and possession will be given on or before September 21. The deal was engineered by Dr. J. H. Hutten, who also found a buyer for the property at 3029 Pinkney streets, from the sale of which a cash payment of $1,176.80 was realized. About $2,500 has been raised from all sources to date. The new property costs $8,000, so there still remains a balance of $5,000 to be taken care of in monthly installments. Because of the number of pledges still uncollected and the heavy expense attached to moving into and furnishing the new house, it has been decided to continue the drive for funds until September 21. The committee hopes to get in touch with all fraternal orders and other organizations which have not yet donated to this worthy cause. The ministers who were unable to take an offering for the home last Sunday are asked to do so before September 21. All contributions will be most gratefully received. Make all checks payable to the "Negro Women's Christian Association" and mail to Mrs. C. W. Jewell, treasurer, 2911 Lake street, or telephone WE bster 3217 and a committee will call for it. We wish to thank each and every one who has in any way, by money or by service, contributed to the success of the drive. We are especially grateful to the ministers of the city for their support, to Rev. John Albert Williams, editor of The Monitor, and Mr. Count Wilkinson, editor of the New Ern, for the publicity they have given this effort, gratis, and to Rev. W. C. Williams for his assistance in planning the drive. The committee hopes to be able to publish a complete list of all donations of $1.00 or more received during the drive. There are to be two large entertainments given soon for the benefit of the Home. The Bachelor-Benedict Club will sponsor an outing at Lakeview Amusement Park September 4th and the Dancing Concession has been secured for the Old Folks' Home at the Annual Emancipation Celebration September 10th at Krug Park. We earnestly solicit the patronage of the public for both of these entertainments. CECELIA W. JEWELL, Chairman of Drive PILGRIM PAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Wm. Franklin, Pastor.

Anderson, the State Sunday School superintendent, was present Sunday morning and was highly pleased with the progress manifested. At 3 o'clock last Sunday afternoon the Rev. J. D.

CHOICE CAUSES SURPRISE Colored Americans Perplexed by Appointment of Active Opponent of Dyer Bill. Washington, Aug. 24.—Colored people the country over received a shock when President Coolidge announced the appointment of C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia as his private secretary to take the place of George Christian, Harding's secretary, who has 'resigned. Chances of the Coolidge administration getting out of the rut into which the late President Harding left it, and doing something about the muddle at Tuskegee, the activities of the Ku Klux Klan, the lynchings, the peonage in the South, or the unjustifiable invasion of Hayti, immediately went glimmering. Old politicians who had expected some changes when the red headed New England Yankee entered the White House, shook their heads gravely, recalling that Coolidge said several days ago he intended carrying out Harding's policies. Who Slemp Is Campbell Bascom Slemp, aged 46, bachelor, former professor of Mathematics in Virginia Military Institute, lawyer and for 14 years congressman from the Ninth District, succeeding his father, is best known as the author of the Republican party's recent policy to break the solid South by excluding colored voters and making the party illy-white. To use his own words he, working under Harding, tried to reorganize the party to the point "where there would be no fear of its domination by Negroes." Last year the country was startled when a fellow Virginia member accused Slemp of selling patronage in his district, collecting in all some $500. The House took no action on this charge, as Slemp declined to run again and his district went Democratic. Like the Republicans of Tennessee and Oklahoma, Slemp voted against the Dyer Anti Lynch Bill, but it was passed in the House. Action of the President in appointing Slemp to the secretaryship, which he will assume September 1st, is considered as a sop to the South, and an indication that the President is after getting Southern votes in line to support him in the 129 election. Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Committeeman from Georgia, just "cussed" when he heard the news of the appointment, Slemp and Phillips, of Georgia, are said to have advised Harding against the appointment of any colored people to Federal offices. ST. PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 26th and Seward Streets. Russel Taylor, Pastor. Services Sunday were very good, especially the evening services. The address by Dr. Hutten on "How to Get on in Life" was full of thought and should be of much help to those hearing it. The arrangement of the popular Hawaiian melody, "Farewell," to sacred words, "Go Tell," was beautifully rendered as a baritone solo by William Taylor. A duet by Mrs. Hutten and Mrs. Taylor, and one by Miss Theidocia Taylor and Miss Beulah Spesee also delighted the audience. At the close of the service, the Session was convened, and the following named persons were received into membership: Mr. and Mrs. Reavis Carr, Mr. Reavis Carr, Jr., and Master Arthur Carr, all recently of Tusca-loosa, Alabama. Services Sunday will be as follows: Morning, "Strength Gained by Waiting on Jehovah." Evening, "Lessons in The School of Prayer. (Math. 18: 19-20; 31:18-32). Mr. Reavis Carr, mr. will be the principal speaker. There will be special music and a lively song service. ```markdown ``` Local and Personal Happenings WE PRINT THE NEWS WHILE IT IS NEWS ADDRESS BOX 1204 E. F.

A well known guide offers a solution as to the reason for the scarcity of deer in places where they have formerly been numerous. A large part of it he attributes to the work of that busy little animal, the beaver. The beaver, he says, builds a dam across a brook that flows through a swamp. This overflows the swamp, kills the evergreens and drives the deer from his winter home. Goose is Real Patriaren the city. Milton Johnson has returned preparatory for school.

NOISE ARCH ENEMY OF SLEEP An American doctor has been trying to find a substitute for sleep. He has calculated that we spend about one-third of our lives in more or less complete unconsciousness and that the average man of fifty has been asleep for seventeen years, says a specialist in an article in the Central China Post. The idea is that this is a great waste of life, and that if one could take a pill or a dose of medicine instead of going to bed he would really have added many years to his allotted span. But the research for such a substitute failed utterly and hopelessly. There is no substitute for sleep. Not one of the limitations is even "nearly is good." I was discussing these experiments and their author with a French doctor at the top of a high mountain in Switzerland recently. We began to speak of sleep because some people who go for the first time to great heights complain that they are too wakeful. All around us were the great silent mountains, with their robes of pine trees and their crowns of snow. The French doctor said: "For my part. I always sleep best on the mountains. The silence seems to wrap itself around my brain." He lives in Paris in a noisy part of the city. Noise Arch Enemy of Sleep. I reminded him that people often say that absence of a noise they are used to wakes them up. But he shook his head. That might happen, of course, but all the same, noise and sleep are not good companions. "We hear noise even when we are asleep," he said, "and it hinders our refreshment. Noise is always a tax great or small, on human strength." The American doctor who wanted to abolish sleep found out exactly the same thing. He discovered that the same amount of sleep was more beneficial in silence than in a noisy place. By some means or other noise uses up the good which sleep does us. What is that good? Hundreds of explanations of it have been given in the past. We have been told that a sleeping man is like an engine in the sheds, he is being cleaned and over hauled. But that explanation is not the whole truth. The new knowledge about sleep puts its value far higher than a kind of human polishing brush. It was only when the brain itself came to be studied that the real meaning of sleep was found. The brain contains vast numbers of cells, each of which is related to some part of the body, just as an electric switch is related to some lamp or bell. The whole power and strength of the body depends on the brain cells. What is the Mystery Substance? Up till a short time ago we knew very little about these strange structures. We were able to look at them with a microscope, and we could stain them with various dyes so that they showed up quite clearly against the rest of the brain matter. And then one doctor, more observant than his fellows, noticed a strange thing. Sometimes the brain cells did not stain so well or so darkly as at other times. The little, vital cells were pale and indistinct instead of being clear and dark. What had happened to rob them of their staining power? Evidently some substance which the cells that stained well contained was absent from the cells that stained badly and indistinct. A great many people began to try to find out what this mystery substance of the brain was. All kinds of strange experiments were carried out. For example, if the brain of a hare which had been coursed was examined, the brain cells were empty of the mystery substance. The brain cells stained poorly and indistinctly. The brains of men worn out in battle, or killed in condition of great strain, were also empty. And if a man had had no sleep for long periods, his supply of mystery substance was very, very low. Gradually the knowledge came that during all efforts, both of mind and body, we use up this strange substance until at last our brain cells are empty of it. And then we can do no more. Unless we can get a new supply we perish. Sleep the Restorer It is sleep which brings the new supply. It is sleep which fills the brain cells afresh with their vital mystery substance. It is sleep which saves us from utter exhaustion, and even from death. By no other means can we make our brains fit to work again. And nature sleep is by far more useful in this respect than the sleep of drugs. Sleep is thus the giver of life. Noise, which causes even resting brain cells to work, is the enemy of sleep. So if you wish to give your children the greatest gift of all, see that the room they sleep in is the quietest in the house. See that you do not rouse them, not even to kiss them good-night. And for yourself, try to shut out noise, and to get enough time for sleep. It will pay you over and over brain.

Cat serenades are getting scarcer and scarcer in the Greenpoint and East New York district of Brooklyn. The crusade started a month ago by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with co-operation of an overseameded public, has attended to that. Cages have been placed in McCarren park, Greenpoint, and Betsy Head park, East New York, where stray cats and dogs are turned in and then collected daily by Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal wagons. Since June 1, 1,200 animals, mainly cats, have been rounded up by thirty men. Dogs get a few hours' grace to see if anyone will claim them, but cats are hustled into a tank of carbon monoxide. Bodies are removed to Barren island and turned into fertilizer. .....

TURKS RENAME GREEK SHRINE St. Sophia in Constantinople to Be Called Mosque of Mahomet In order to remove all vestiges of Greek domination of Constantinople, the Turks intend to change the name of the historic Mosque of St. Sophia to Melmedie mosque, that is, the Mosque of Mahomet. Founded by the builder of Constantinople itself, Constantine the Great, who dedicated it to "Eternal Wisdom," St. Sophia mosque is one of the most famous religious buildings in the world. For more than a thousand years it was one of Christianity's most cherished shrines. It was built in the year 226. It was destroyed by fire in 404, restored, and again destroyed. Under Theodosius it was rebuilt into a magnificent church in 415, and 150 years later was further embellished by Justinian. After the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 1483 the church was converted into a mosque. By the Turks St. Sophia mosque is held in a veneration second only to that which surrounds the famous Kanba, or Sacred house, at Mecca. The Greeks regard it with equal sacredness. PREMIER SPURNS NECKTIE Polish Leader Goes Without Cravat to Accentuate Peasant Origin. Premier Witos of Poland never wears a necktie. This, it is said, is in order to accentuate his peasant origin. A Warsaw newspaper recently opened a subscription to buy a tie for Mr. Witos. In a few days the funds collected amounted to 1,700,000 marks. M. Witos would not accept the money, however, and at his request it was handed over to the Red Cross society as a donation to be known as "The Necktie of M. Witos." Sought Love. Not Money. Money without love was valueless to Joseph Becker, who told the court in Los Angeles. Cal., he burned $8,500 he had saved after he had shot and killed Miss Jane E. Kelso.
