Family Threatened by Social Conditions DELIVERS STIRRING MESSAGE AT THE NATIONAL BAPTIST MEETING LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 Year ents Copy Family DELIVERS STIRRING THE NATIONAL Detroit, Mich.—Dr. Robert R. Moton stood in Booker T. Washington's place last Friday night and the Baptist hosts who heard him are shouting "hallelujah" yet. For years Dr. Washington delivered the principal lay address at the convention. Dr. Moton made those followers of the cross dig back in their memories of the departed sage as he talked. Declaring that the church faced a crisis as well as its greatest opportunity, he insisted that the church will never be effective in saving the world until it is able to practice itself the gospel which it preaches. "The Church is facing today," he said, "the greatest opportunity in the world since its establishment by Jesus Christ. The nations of the earth are in conflict with each other. The peoples of the earth are growing increasingly restless. Old standards are being broken down, old ways are changing, old ideas are giving place to new. Men and women of every walk and station of life are thinking as never before. They are thinking new thoughts. A great many of them are revolutionary. It is this breaking up of old ways and a searching out for new that presents to the Church of Christ its greatest opportunity in history. "The Church has believed it has the final solution of the ills of mankind; it has believed it can put an end to strife and warfare. "Now is the chance for it to assert its power, to present its cure and to give mankind the panacea for its ills. Its message to the world will not be a new one. It will be the same old message of 'Peace on earth, good will toward men,' or, as the revised version has it, 'Peace on earth to men of good will.' "The truth of the matter is that there is as much rivalry, antagonism and dissension within the Church of Jesus Christ itself as there is on the outside. "It has been my privilege recently to see many parts of the world while seeking the improvement of my health. On those travels I had the opportunity of making some observations about religious faith and practices. The thing that struck me most favorably was that among so-called heathen peoples their religious faith bound them together as a unit whatever their other differences; but among Christians it seems they are divided more by their different religious ideas than by anything else. "It seems that Christians hang together better in business, in politics, in secret societies and similar activi- HARLEM FAMILY LIFE SERIOUSLY MENACED BY SOCIAL CONDITIONS Dense Overcrowding, Rent Exploitation, Lack of Non-Commercial Recreations Are Blamed New York, N. Y.—Overcrowding, rent exploitation and the lack of non-commercial recreational facilities are breaking up Negro family life in Harlem, according to a report, published recently of a seven months' investigation into the problem of delinquent and neglected Negro children in New York City by the joint committee on Negro child study. The investigation, in which thirty social agencies, the National Urban League and the Women's City Club of New York collaborated, dealt with social conditions in congested Negro centers in all five boroughs. It disclosed that the number of mothers forced to abandon home duties for outside work is four to five times as great among Negroes as among the white population and the proportion of delinquent and neglected Negro children four to six times greater. 200,000 Negroes in City Through migrations from the South the Negro population of New York has increased at a rate nearly THE MONITOR ties than they do in church affairs. The records show there are more than 75 different kinds of Baptists, about 35 different kinds of Presbyterians and more than 25 kinds of Lutherans. And even in the Catholic Church there are at least a dozen different varieties. Certainly this is no example to set before the world by an organization that professes to teach the unity and brotherhood of all mankind. I do not believe the church will ever be effective in saving the world until it is able to practice itself the gospel it preaches. "This is equally true for black people as for white people. I, myself, am a Baptist and have always been. I still hold my membership in the Macedonia Baptist chuch in Prince Edward county, Virginia. But I want to say here and now that I am not the kind of a Baptist that finds it impossible to recognize a Methodist as a brother, nor the kind of a Baptist that believes that only Baptists will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Indeed, I am not one of those who believes that only the so-called Christians will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. For I have met and personally men and women of other religious faiths whom I believe will surely enter into the Kingdom of Heaven as anybody here tonight. "Some of those whom I know are Hindus in India, some are Confucianists in China, some are Buddhists in Japan. Then there is that great friend and benefactor and lover of all mankind, Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago. In religion he calls himself and is called a Jew. But I do not know a better Christian anywhere in the world than this same Julius Rosenwald. I do not know any man who has any more of the spirit of Jesus Christ than Julius Rosenwald. For myself, I shall be perfectly content at the last to go to that place which God himself should assign to Julius Rosenwald. "I am just a layman. I am not a preacher. But I believe I am a Christian. And it seems to me that more than all the hymns, more than all the prayers, more than all the sermons and all the theology is this matter of living at peace with one's fellows and co-operating with men and women of all faiths, of all sects and of all races in making the Kingdom of Heaven to come on earth in every possible way to make this world a better place for others to live in. I think this is what Jesus had in mind when he taught us to pray: 'Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.'" four times as fast as the whole population, and there are now more than 200,000 Negroes in the city. Enforced parental neglect and lack of organized recreational facilities are held largely responsible for the considerable increase in delinquency and neglect among Negro children since 1919 as against a decrease in delinquency among white boys. Outstanding statements of the report are that the most common charge against Negro boy delinquents is disorderly conduct and desertion of home, while that against white boy delinquents is stealing and burglary; that Negro boys in Children's Court outnumbered Negro girls three to one, and 85 per cent of Negro girl delinquents are charged with waywardness or desertion of home; that of fifty cases picked at random only one was found to have had any contact with organized recreation, and that while there is considerable provision for mild delinquents among white children, there is less for Negro children and even this limited provision is decreasing.

NEGRO ROMAN CATHOLICS HOLD BIG CONVENTION Pope Pius XI Sends Greetings and Blessing to Assemblage Meeting in Metropolis of New York New York, N. Y.—(Special)—The third annual convention of the Federated Colored Catholics of the United States was opened with a solemn high mass celebration by Bishop John J. Dunn in St. Charles Borromeo Roman Catholic church, 213 West 141st street, Sunday morning, September 4th. Mgr. Thomas M. O'Keefe, pastor of the Church of St. Benedict, the Moor, read a message from Pope Pius XI, sent through Cardinal Gasparri. It read: "His holiness sends to the convention his good wishes and fa- --- therly blessing." In his sermon Mgr. O'Keefe urged the convention to spread the true faith. "Let the light of your faith be your guide," he said, "and let it shine into the eyes of others that they, too, may be attracted by the beauty and magnificence and the splendor of its Holy Work. Man's life must be lived ever, according to the principle of piety if his soul is to be saved." Dr. James W. Turner, president, urged educational facilities that would increase the number of Negro priests. The policy followed by the Church of providing native priests in Mexico, China and Japan should also be practiced among the American Negroes. Dr. Turner, who is also president of Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., said: "The first Roman Catholic Bishop consecrated in the New World was a Negro, at least three of the Popes were of acknowledged African descent, and various saints were canonized Negroes," he asserted. He said that there are between 200,000 and 250,000 Negro Roman Catholics in this country. Mrs. Lillian Black and youngest daughter are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James O'Donnell here. Mrs. Black has entered her daughter in school for a while here, until she makes a trip east and returns. Vol. XIII—No. 11 ATLANTA VISITORS VICTIMS OF AUTO ACCIDENT IN IOWA Second Accident Within One Week Near Denison in Which Tourists From Omaha Are Injured Mr. and Mrs. St. Elmo Reynolds, recently married; Mrs. Ida Reynolds, mother of the groom; Mr. William Burch and his son, Brainard, all of Atlanta, Ga., were in a serious automobile accident two miles west of Denison, Iowa, last Saturday morning. The members of the party had spent the week in Omaha visiting Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Reynolds, 2829 Grant street and were en route to Chicago on their way home. Rounding a dangerous curve near Denison, the car went over the embankment and Mrs. Ida Reynolds sustained two broken ribs and other injuries; Mr. William Burch had his arm broken and the others received cuts and bruises. Mrs. Reynolds was taken to a hospital in Denison where she remained until Monday when she was brought to Omaha and placed in Lord Lister hospital. The other members of the party returned to Omaha Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Reynolds is reported to be doing nicely at the hospital. This is the second accident within a week near the same place in which tourists from Omaha were seriously injured. DIES FROM INJURIES RECEIVED IN AUTO WRECK Henry Fletcher, one of the four men injured in the automobile wreck near Denison, Iowa, September 5, died at Lord Lister hospital Friday morning as a result of injuries sustained. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at Mount Moriah Baptist church and the body was shipped Wednesday morning by Undertaker Myers to Winsboro, Texas, for burial. Miss Eva Williams After six years of loyal, efficient service in the home office of Poro college and more recently as branch manager of the Omaha Poro branch office and supply station, one of the 25 such stations in principal cities throughout the country, Miss Eva Williams has been promoted, having been called to take charge of the Model Poro Beauty Parlor, ground floor, Poro college building. Congratulations have poured in to Miss Williams from the splendid people of Omaha who were very co-operative and hospitable during her sojourn in their midst. Taking an active part in the St. John A. M. E. church, of which her father, the Rev. C. A. Williams, now of St. Louis and Wayman chapel, was the pastor for two years, she made a host of friends. She was president of the Church Improvement club and vice-president of the Junior Matrons' club. Through the vacancy created by Miss Williams' promotion, which is in line with the Poro college policy of awarding members of the organization, in the field or at the home office, for meritorious service, Mrs. Azalia Mills, formerly of Detroit, has been placed in charge of the Omaha station. GROWING THANK YOU Whole Number 633 ditions BROOMFIELD RITES ARE ATTENDED BY VAST MULTITUDE Funeral of Former Third Ward Political Leader One of Largest and Most Pretentious Ever Held in City PALLBEARERS OF BOTH RACES The funeral of the late John H. "Jack" Broomfield, held last Saturday afternoon, was one of the most pretentious and largest in the history of Omaha. Hundreds passed in and out of Myers' funeral home prior to the Elks' ceremonies, to view the remains and hundreds, unable to gain admittance, thronged the streets in the immediate vicinity of the chapel during the services. Other hundreds thronged the street in the vicinity of the Episcopal Church of St. Philip the Deacon, and crowded the church to overflowing, and for blocks the throngs lined the streets through which the long cortege passed. Various estimates are given of the numbers attracted by the funeral, hundreds of whom came to pay sincere tribute to the deceased and other hundreds who were drawn by curiosity. But it was a great throng. Among those who came to pay respects were people of various nationalities, city commissioners, politicians, business and professional men, sportsmen and others were in attendance. The pallbearers, active and honorary, were in equal numbers from both races. They were: Active—Dr. J. H. Hutten, James Banks, and Otto Mason, colored; Tom Dennison, Frank Housky and George Yager, white. Honorary—Police lieutenant Harry Buford, Sergeant Isaac Bailey, Henry W. Black, James G. Jewell, W. H. "Bob" Robinson, Frank Douglas, Dr. John A. Singleton, Dr. W. W. Peebles and Paul Holliday, colored; City Commissioners Dean Noyes and John Hopkins, County Commissioner Charles H. Kubat, Morris Milder, Fred Myers, Charles Williams, Harry Pullman, Tony Hoffman and Frank O'Callahan, white. The first service was held at Myers' funeral chapel, Twenty-second and Lake streets, where the Iroquois Lodge of Elks, Attorney A. P. Scruggs, exalted ruler, conducted their rites. Following this service a cortege formed and moved to St. Phillip's church. The procession was headed by Desdunes' band, which played a funeral march the entire way. Next came the Elks, marching, and then the pallbearers on foot, with a long line of automobiles following. Two automobiles were needed to carry the floral set pieces and wreaths. The service at the church was the regular order for the burial of the dead, according to the use of the Episcopal Church, without sermon or eulogy. Three hymns, "Rock of Ages," "My God, My Father, While I Stray," and "Lead, Kindly Light," the second a solo by Mrs. Cecelia Jewell, were sung. From the church the band and Elks club marched as escorts in a procession to Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets, from which point the automobiles proceeded by way of Thirtieth street to Forest Lawn cemetery where the body was interred. --- THE MONITOR A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED PRIMARILY TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT OMAHA, NEBRASKA, BY THE MONITOR PUBLISHING COMPANY Entered as Second-Class Mail Matter, July 2, 1915 at the Postoffice at Omaha, Nebraska, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

The coroner's jury recommended that one man be held, but the county attorney's office claimed there was not enough evidence to convict and ordered him released. There is something rotten in the state of Denmark when Negroes who commit crimes against Negroes can get off so easily. RELEASE GARVEY The Monitor desires to repeat its request to President Coolidge that Marcus Garvey be released from Atlanta penitentiary. We are pleased to see that the press is raising a united voice for this act of clemency or justice. Garvey, more the victim of circumstances, than of deliberate design, as we have always believed, was sentenced to Atlanta prison for a term of five years for using the mails to defraud. He has served nearly one-half of the allotted time. Others have been released and Garvey should be released also. Release Marcus Garvey! THINK THIS OVER Max Rosenbaum has just opened a lunch stand on the southwest corner of Twenty-fourth and Charles street. It is in one of those square artificial stone buildings which are much used for this kind of business. Mr. Rosenbaum is the man who two or three years ago conducted a restaurant on Cuming street near Twenty-third, where it is alleged he refused to serve colored patrons unless they would eat in the kitchen. It is also alleged that for a time he displayed a sign reading, "Colored trade not solicited." Mr. Rosenbaum went out of business on Cuming street. It has been said "he went broke." He has opened his lunch counter now in a Negro neighborhood within the same block in which are two neat well-kept restaurants owned by Negro proprietors. Of course, he now expects and desires "colored patronage." Do you think he ought to get it? FILE BROOMFIELD WILL The will of John H. Broomfield, filed in county court Monday, involving an estate at more than 50 thousand dollars, leaves more than half of his property to his adopted son, Leroy C. Broomfield of Omaha. Mr. Broomfield died suddenly of heart trouble September 7. To his brothers, George, of St. Louis, Nathan of Chicago, and Levi of Omaha; a niece, Mrs. Coresia Shockley of Omaha and a nephew, LeRoy of Chicago, the will bequeaths five thousand dollars each. Eddie Robinson and Leon Wallace of Omaha, friends, are left one thousand dollars each. The rest goes to the adopted son. The will was drawn December 26, 1925.

(For The Associated Negro Press) Ever since Moses received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, the magic number of ten has been associated with edicts and laws. The following ten health commandments came out of Georgia, having been issued by the Athens and Clark county health department. No color line seems to have been drawn in them, so I pass them on to you with a hearty recommendation. 1. Eat wisely; much raw milk, green stuffs, fruit and whole grain bread; little meat and sugar; avoid alcohol and stimulants. 2. Exercise freely; stand and sit erect. 3. Use your lungs; breathe fresh air day and night; stay in the sunlight a part of every fair day. 4. Be clean; wash your hands before you eat; bathe often; clean your teeth morning and night. 5. Feel well; don't get over-tired; rest is your best friend; a 30-minute nap in midday is not laziness, but good sense. 6. Be regular; don't break your appointments with yourself for meals, sleep, and bowel movements. 7. Keep your balance; hurry and worry serve no man. Play a little every day. 8. Keep safe; fight shy of the careless sneezer, and spitter, the common drinking cup, and the home with the open well or open toilet. 9. Don't be too smart; when you are sick, go to bed and call a doctor; few who do this promptly die of pneumonia and flu. 10. Be thrifty; invest in an examination by a doctor and dentist on your birthday every year. It will pay dividends. THE MONITOR EMANCIPATION DAY CELEBRATION Monday, September 12, St. John's A. M. E. church held its annual Emancipation Day celebration at Krug Park. A number of automobiles, among them several beautifully decorated ones, formed in procession at St. John's church, and preceded by mounted police in command of Lieutenant Harry Buford and headed by a band, paraded through the principal streets to the park. At the park, various amusements were enjoyed and the principal address of the day "Slave or Freeman," was delivered by the Rt. Rev. Archibald James Carey of Chicago. The speaker traced the steps leading up to emancipation and stressed the responsibility of freedom and the duties involved in citizenship. The Rev. John Adams also spoke. In the evening a large number enjoyed dancing under the auspices of Roosevelt Post. Prizes in various contests were awarded. The prize for the most beautifully decorated car was awarded to Mrs. Alice Sherwood. Mrs. Matthews was crowned queen of the carnival and was awarded a diamond ring. Mrs. Willie Ray won first prize in ticket selling, followed by Mrs. Hallie Johnson, who won second prize. MME. WALKER'S HEIR WEDS PITTBSURGH ATTORNEY Pittsburgh, Pa.—Society was astounded by the recent announcement that Mrs. Mae Walker, heiress to the Walker millions, had been married to Marion Perry, one of Pittsburgh's most prominent and promising attorneys. Mrs. Mae Walker Jackson was the former wife of Dr. Gordon Jackson. The quiet wedding which joined the couple has been contrasted with the famous, and some are bold enough to declare "ill-fated," million dollar wedding held when Miss Walker was joined in wedlock with Dr. Gordon Jackson, a few years ago. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters on the 7th day of September, 1927, filed a petition with the Interstate Commerce commission requesting an investigation of the rates of the Pullman company. It is the contention of the brotherhood that the company be required to pay the proper wages to the Pullman porters and relieve them of the present undemocratic and unsystematic requirement of performing the management's A.

The company admits that porters' solicited tips or collected wages from 22,477,051 sleeping car passengers to the tune of twenty-five cents each and ten cents from 13,155,052 seat passengers the sum of $7,000,000 annually. The porters' petition alleges that the tips are uncertain and indefinite and that there is an additional charge on the tickets that the passenger pays for his accommodations and constitutes a violation of the Interstate Commerce Act, since it fosters the practice of discrimination as the old rebate system. A group of prominent citizens throughout the country will join in the petition, according to the general organizer.

Myers Mortician --- PAGE THREE Cameron, Texas — Threats were made to lynch Noah Moore, 19 years old, here recently by an angry mob of whites who milled about the jail where he was confined in connection with an attack upon a white man, Sam Law. Extra guards had to be placed around the jail and the youth was carried away to an unknown destination under the cover of night. PAGE FOUR re Kapoleon and Lincoln Among the Henpecked ‘The heupecked wan can scarcely be classed as a product of modern times. Historians relate that many of the world’s most famous men, including Napoleon, Lincoln and Socrates, were heupecked. One of the letters writ ten by Napoleon to his wife, Jose phine, ends with the postscript: “A thousand kisses—as burning as yours are frosty.” Lincoln, it 1s suid, was henpecked Decause he was too shy. Count Mont- geles, the German biogrupher of Lin- coin, declares that Lincoln's wife loved him superficially, her own selfish am- ditions predominating, adding that she constantly pecked at him and almost drove him mad. The duke of Marlborough, one of Winston Churehill’s ancestors, and ac- claimed as one of the greatest warriors of his day, was madly in love with his wife, who, however, nagged him all the time. In 1704 he wrote to his wite on the eve of a battle: “Tm not nearly as much afrald of my 60,000 foes as I am of you when you are mad at me.” Next day, with Prince Eugene of Savoy, he won a big victory over the forces of Louis XIV of France—New York Evening World Business Man Really Not Taking Chances In Portland lives a business man who not so long ago took to himself @ most attractive young wife. She is reported to be what is sometimes de- nominated as dangerously beautiful Recently he took a “traveling man” home to dinner with him, When, after dinner, the two men were in the smok- ing room together, the traveling man felt moved to say: “Mr. Blank, as you know, I go about a great deal, and I may confess to you I am an observer of the fair sex, and In the course of my travels [ see many handsome women, but 1 must say Mrs, Blank is about the handsomest woman I've ever met. 1 should think you'd be afraid to bring other men Into your home.” “Oh, I trust my wife to look after the lionor and welfare of the family. but I do sometimes find wyself taking the precaution to Invite only such plain, commonplace men as 0 woman would care to see the second time."— Boston Globe. Leog-Rolling Suppose you are a prominent au thor. If you cun get another proml- nent author to say something nlce about your next book (which he may not read) is It not perfectly proper for you to say something nice about bis next book? Thus a publisher will throw a book to the lions; that is, he will send advance copies to the lions, and each lion will roar a litthe about it. The roars of all these Hons will be compacted in an advertising cam- paign, the whole affair being concocted before the book IS Out. There Ix nothing seemingly wrong about this. Of course each lion will naturally ex- pect to bave some roaring done for him later by the author of the book.— ‘Thomas L. Masson in Patches Magy zine. Powerful Colloids if you leave te dishes ip which gelatin desserts bave been served to le unwashed, you may find them broken next morning, says Hygeia Magazine. Gelatin is one of those substances, ueither liquid nor solid, knewn as colloid.

He blazed the way of his profession in abdominal surgery when, in 1809, he performed a difficult opera- tion that never had been tried before, saved the patient's life and enabled his profession to save countless other lives afterward. Doctor MeDowell was literally a “doctor of the old school,” the type that thought nothing of the monetary return from his prac: tice, He was an adviser of the people, often in Snanclal matters as well as being the custodian of thelr health and that of thelr children, He was born in Rockbridge county, Virginia and had ample opportunity to studs the science in which he early decided to spend his life. After obtaining what medical education was available in America, he attended the University of Edinburgh and on bis return trom Europe located in Danville, Ky. it 1795 to practice. It was there that he performed the operation that made him famous.—Kansas City Star. GEORGIA’S OLDEST PENSIONER ON ROLL OF | U. S. GOVERNMENT Mark Thrast, 107 Years Old, Who Served His Country 30 Years, Fought in the Civil War _ Washington, D. C.—Mark Thras, fat the age of 107 years, enjoys the reputation of being the oldest pen- sioner of the government service. He smokes his pipe in Georgia and is surrounded with the comforts that his annuity provides. President Monroe was in the White House, Napoleon was in St. Helena and Abraham Lincoln was in knee pants when Thrash was born in Vir- ginia, De-ember 1820. He was born a slave. He entered the government service in 1894 and had served Uncle Sam for 28 years when he was re- tired in 1922. Thrash, age 107, Charles F. Metz, 101, and Samuel Willard Saxton, 98, the latter two both white, are the three oldest men still receiving an- nuity on being retired from active service. ‘The record in the retirement divi- sion, Department of Interior, shows that Thrash was born in Virginia, December 25, 1820, At an early age he went to Georgia clearing lands. At that time Indians were still roving in the southeast. After the end of the Civil War, Thrash wandered with other refugees through Arkansas and into Tennes- see, where he obtained a place as 9 watchman, On June 3, 1894, accord- ing to the record, he entered the government service as a stable man at Chickamauga National Park, under the War Department, where he serv- ed until July 31, 1922. He was well past the age of retirement when the law became effective in August, 1921, granting an annuity. Although he was capable of fur- ther service, he was retired.
