white plumes, clad in military cloak
Of blue on which was gold lace aplenty
and followed by his High Potentate,'
Chaplain General" Representative
of the American people at the BLACK
House, Washington Black Cross
nurses, members of the uniformed
rank and host of followers riding in
automobiles, paraded the streets o.
Harlem yesterday afternoon whil'
thousands of negroes who do not agree
with Garvcy's "Resurrect Africa
movement looked on.
Harlem was in gala attire, relates
the New York World of last Wednes,
day. LenoX and Seventh Avenue!
were especially decorated. Flags ant
bunting were in evidence, the colors o.
the association, black, green and red
predominating. Police led the parade
and a large detail was stationed along
the line of march. This arrangement
is said to have been made by mutua
consent, a request having been made
by the Garvey people that adequate
protection be given.
Cheers for Themselves.
There was little cheering as GarveS
passed in his highpowered car. Mos
of those who witnessed the parade ap'
peared to be looking out of curiosity
but great enthusiasm was displayed
by the marchers themselves.
During the procession there were
several animated discussions betweer
marchers and bystanders, but none re-
suited seriously. At Lenox Avenue
and 135th Street, a "Garveyite' tooE
execution to a remark of an onlookei
charging Garvey with being a blacf
member of the Ku Klux Klan. This
is an unpopular subject in Harlem
and the crowd was with the anti-Gar-
yey man. Prompt interference by the
police quelled the argument.
On Seventh Avenue, near 1886
Street, two negroes of opposite view:
took issue over Garvey's unfortunate
transaction with the Black Star Line
in which thousands of dollars were
lost Garvey's champion contendee
the money lost to members OF the
United Negro Improvement Associa'
ton was due to bad advice and unfail
business methods adopted by those NJ
trusted. He asserted the president
general of the association could ge
thousands of dollars more If he de-
sired
Police Are Reinforced.
When Garvey and other dignitarie'
aIiehted from automobiles and tooi
seats in the reviewing stand IN IRON
Of No. 1905 Seventh Avenue, scor'
or more of uniformed men Of the as
sociation surrounded their chief, re
inforcing the Gordon of police.
When representative of The Wori'
walked toward the stand before Gar
vey in the third carriage, had returned
n Seventh Avenue for review, he was
stopped by several negroes who sale
thew had been hired by Garvey as prl
vate detectives to see that no disturb
ance was raised upon his arrival.
In order to show white people th'
Universal Negro Improvement Asso'
citation is on the map, the paraae
after leaving Liberty Hall, NO. lz'
West 13Sth Street, marched dowl
Seventh Avenue as far as llVti
Street. 1t was then that banners
reading white man rules America
black man shall rule Africa" wv
Want a black civilization" and "Go'
and the Negro Shall Triumph wer'
raised.
Few, if any, of the leading negroes
of New York accepted invitations eX
tended to take part in the parade
The majority respectfully declined.
WAS the parade as large as on TN
two preceding years"
This was the question of the hou
and it has divided Harlem into riva
camps. Those opposed to the Carve!
movement declare there were te"e
the deduction would be that the Gar
veyites" assert there were more.
The true significance Of the ques
ton is obvious. If yesterdays parad
were smaller it would prove that Mar
Gus Garvey's popularity is on tn
wane; if it were as large or large
the deduction would be that the "Por
visional President of Africa" an
President General of the Universe
Negro Improvement Association con
tinues to exert potent influence.
To an impartial observer yesterday
parade did not suffer by comparison
with that of 1921. There were aoou
5, 900 persons in line.
MANY FEEBLE MINDED.
