F. 0. MORTON, NEGRO
OFFICER, URGES
RACE INDEPENDENCE
Addressed a Large Number of
Colored Voters at National
Theatre.
REMARKS WERE APPLAUDED

An appeal to the Negro voters to
emancipate themselves from n bind
ing allegiance TO any particular party,
was made yesterday by Ferdinand O.
Morton. Civil Service Commissioner of
New York City, speaking before 500
Negroes in the National Theatre,
Eighth and French streets.
Prolonged applause which greeted
the speaker. one Of the numerous Ne
groes who hold high public office in
New York. indicated that the audience
indorsed his stand and statements,
Reports have been circulated among
the Negroes of the city who did not
attend the meeting that a large num-
her Of the audience arose and walked
ont because Mr.. Morton appealed to-
them TO vote the straight Democratic
ticket.
Mr.. Morton did not ask them to vote
the straight ticket of any party and.
as far as could be learned, mono of his
audience left the theatre because OF
his address.
rEma ncipate yourselves from party
entanglements." Mr.. Morton pleaded
Vote for those who are for you. II
Republican takes his stand for our
race vote for him; if n Democrat does
likewise vote for him. Don't train the
people of the nation SO that they VIII
know our politics by our color. The
way we are going now We are Jim
Growing ourselves in politics.
The same source of information
which has spread the untounded
rumors Of "break-up' in the meeting
also declared that Walter r. White.
field secretary and investigator for the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, made a STIR
ring plea for his race to work for
economic and social advancement oi
the Negroes throughout the nation
Mr.. White did speak briefly on this
subject. but confined his address chief
" to Congressman Caleb X. Layton.
nominee for reelection to Congress
on the Republican ticket. This. the
opponents of the meeting failed TO
state.
Mr.. White urged the Negroes 10
cut Iayton's name from the Repub-
lCan ticket and vote for the only other
candidate for this office. former Judge
William H Boyce. on the Democratic
ticket. He assailed DIR. Layton's
political speeches. tearing them apart
and exposing them for analysis by the
voters.
Il wonder why DR.. Layton did not
mention the names of the large num-
Der Of Delaware lawyers who he says
advised him not TO vote for the Dyer
Anti-Lynching bill" he unused. HE
named only Judge Boyce. That, say,
was not fair"
The audience throughout both
speeches was attentive and polite. re-
naming quiet, with the exception OF
the interruptions of hearty applause.
An actual count of the number OF
persons who left the theatre before
the meeting came 10 an end was four
and they were counted by DR.. J. b.
Stubbs, chairman of the meeting, who

has denounced those who seek to con-
vey the impression that the Negroes
resented the speakers statements.
The persons left the theatre because
their dinner hour Is early on Sunday,
It is said.
Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson. promi-
nent leader among the Negro women
of the city, characterized the state
ments made in a morning newspaper
today concerning the meeting as
false from start to finish, unfair and
slanderous."
Mr.. White declared that any Negro
who voted for DIR. Layton after the
latters vote against the anti-lynch-
ing bill "was no man." "Dr. Lay
ton" he said, has evaded the main
issue in his answers to the call down
of the Negro voters and has treated
the question unfairly in every way"

Addition to First-Central Form
ally Opened With Special
Services.

The new auditorium of the First
Central Presbyterian Church was
occupied for the first time last night,
when a congregation filling the edi-
fee to capacity, attended services
there. The service was marked by the
presence of Bishop Philip Cook, of
the Episcopal Diocese of Delaware !:
Rev. Richard w. Trapnell, OF
st. Andrews p. T.. Church; Rev.
George ID. Allison. OF the Second
Baptist Church; Rev. Leonard White,
OF Mt. Salem NJ. y. Church. and Rev.
Joel s. Gilfillan. of the Olivet Presby-
terian Church.
DIR. Aquilla Webb, pastor of First
Central. spoke upon the excellent
work OF those concerned in the erec-
tion of the building. and called upon
several to speak briefly. DR.. Webb
said he learned much about workmen

and their labors and thoughts during
his contact with them while they were
engaged In the erection OF tho now
auditorium.
There was special musical pro-
gram arranged. with an organ recital,
4 solo by Frank III. Mason and Sc
lections by a double quartet.
Tho large pipe organ was heard for
the first time. This instrument was
formerly located in the Central Church
and has been entirely rebuilt and en-
larged. Leslie Cook performed at both
services. giving a splendid recital!
DIR. Webb euloglzed tho local organ
builder, Frank Brown, Mt the evening
service for the excellent manner In
which the instrument was rushed
through to completion for the dcdica-
ton OF the edifice.
In It's present location the instru-
ment presents n handsome appear
ance almost entirely filling up tho
King street end of the building. The
tone of the organ pleased all: the
foundation and stops are of large
scale, giving full, bold tones; the fluto
tones bright, tho string and reed
tones wonderful limitations of the In
struments they represent; the whole
blending into a fun organ OF majesty.

to what they were in 1920.
All of which means the championship
may change hands before the 1922 sports

Two years ago Penn Charter had q

crack aggregation. headed by Milo
Miller. West Philadelphia also had q
sterling team, with Charles Watson, Sd,
playing the leading role.
On and on through the season they
raced, keeping neck to neck. until they
entered the stretch. The track on which
! they ran was composed of the other
teams in the league that they had con :
auered. And the stretch was the tennis
court on which they were to meet to
decide which was the superior aggrega
ton.
They met. Penn Charter was victo-
rious.
Every one in scholastic ranks thought
Penn Charters victory also meant the
championship. But such was not the
case. West Philadelphia was pro-
claimed the champion. and a perfectly
good winning streak compiled by the
Quakers was lost.
Speedboys Get Title
| While Penn Charter had won the
most intprscholastic matches. West
PHILADELPHIA had been more successful
in the individual matches. The point
system. counting only individual win
ners. therefore. handed the Speedboys
the title.
As was the case in 1920. so is 1t this
season. Both West Philadelphia and
Penn Charter started off at a whirlwind
clip and beat everything IN sight. lheh
! they met as opposing teams.
The matches were played on the Idle
Hour Tennis Clubs courts last Satur.
day. And Penn Charter was knocked
for a receiving station. The score was
precisely the same as in 1928 to 2.
While West Philadelphia won the
match. Penn Charter had the most in
diyidual wins so far this season. And
as they count for points the champion
ship may depart from Forty eighth and

years.

Mclaughlin still figure as a contender
for the national championship itself?
