For Stand Against Color :.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, SO
Fifth avenue, which has been fight
ing the case of Miss Lydia Gardine,
barred because of her color from the
Y. w. c. A. School of Hygiene in
New York, has received letter from
the A. NJ. E. Preachers Association
of greater New York, commencing
the N. A. A. c. P. stand against color
discrimination and offering their
loyal support. The letter, in full, is
as follows:
"Our attention is called to the
unchristian action of the Y. w. c. A.
school of this city, as reported in the
World on the 18th inst, in its dis
elimination of an applicant, a Negro
girl, Miss Lydia Gardine, because OF
her race and color.
These are some of the persecu-
tions that are constantly asserting
themselves against the race in this
country, a 'Klu Klux' spirit and pro-
gram without the hoods, yet no less
dangerous and outrageous.
ANY institution bearing the name
of Christ, calling itself Christian,
should be above such hypocrisy and
when revealed, no terms are too
strong for their denunciation.
I'VE are gratified to note, your or
ganization has already taken interest
in this case, are making an investi-
cation of facts and we feel sure, no
pains will be spared on your part, to
expose this unchristian act and in
stitute that justice which the civiliza-
tion of which we are apart demands.
''The A. M. E. Preachers Associa-
tion of Greater New York, express
their faith in your endeavor, your
faithfulness to the cause of right
eousness and do hereby assure you
our loyal support in whatever is
necessary to right this wrong and
protect the rights Of an opposed
people"

COlOred Firemen To Benefit BY

This became known yesterday and
was confirmed by Commissioner j.

AT present firemen are getting a

Firemen have been contending for
the same pay as patrolmen. They used
to get the same amount. Then the
Standardization ordinance adopted in
1922 put them in different grades.

Planted Sleuth

TwO-gun Robber Empties Pts
tolls at Cop, Proprietor; Flee
as Officer Opens Fire. One
Bandit Believed Wounded.

Planted" in a drug store at Fair
view avenue and st. Clair street in
anticipation of a hold-up, Detective
James Mitchell late Tuesday night
routed two bandits in a gun fight
in which one bandit is believed to
have been wounded.
The detective, stationed in the pre-
scription room, was helpless for a
minute when the bandits entered the
back room because A. B. Heinz, the
proprietor, was between him and the
two men.
Bandits Blaze Away
When Heinz failed to comply with
an order to put 'em up" one bandit
armed with two revolvers, opened
fire, bullets whistling past the pro-
prietor's ears. Poor craftsmanship
saved him. After emptying the guns,
the bandits fed through the front
door, Detective Mitchell after them.
Leaping into an automobile, the
pair fed as Mitchell opened fire.
Five shots blazed from the detectives s
gun, and the car zig-zagged east on
st. Clair street, crashing into a tele-
phone pole block away. The car
virtually was demolished, but the
bandits escaped by running behind a
house at 235 Baldwin street.
Harry Carlson, a clerk, was in the
front of the store when the men en-
tered about IL p. NJ. Heinz and
Mitchell were seated in the prescrip-
tion room. Without speaking, the
two edged down the counter to the
door of the back room, and, when
asked by Carlson what they wanted,
the bandit nearest the door pulled
two guns and entered the back room,
the other following.
Heinz jumped up, coming between
Detective Mitchell and the bandits.
Evidently alarmed by the move, the
man with the guns began shooting.
None of the bullets took effect, how
ever, and the two men fed out the
front door, getting in a high-powered
roadster parked in front. Mitchell
followed them out, firing as they sped
down st. Clair street.
Less than a block away the car
began to zigzag across the street,
Mitchell said, and veered into a tele-
phone pole at the intersection of St.
Clair and Baldwin streets. The ban
dts ran north from the wrecked car.
In February of this year the Fair
view pharmacy was held up and $40
was obtained. II the raid had been
successful Tuesday night, 500 would
have been lost, Mr.. Heinz stated.

Judge Asserts That Law Went

Despite a law of the State of Vir-

with people of Negro ancestry, Rob-

Sorrell, whose grandmother was
registered as free colored," have by
court action compelled the local

In his decision, Judge Henry S.

while upholding the general purpose
of the Virginia law, asserted that it
went beyond the bounds of reason,
since it empowered clerks to with

reasons to believe one of the appli-

RIGHTS URGED IN
ANNUAL MESSAGE
Says Race Should Be Protected
Protected Especially From
Crime of Lynching

Washington, Dec. 3.--Presi-
dent Coolidge advised Congress
in his annual message today that
perhaps the most important
work it can do at its present ses-
sion is to practice such economy
as to make possible a reduction
of taxes for the next fiscal year.
"The government can do more
to remedy the economic ills of
the people by system of rigid
economy in public expenditure"
he said, than can be accom-
plished through any other ac-
ton"
Although stressing economy,
Mr.. Coolidge presented a wide
range of other recommendations,
some new and others reitera-
tions of proposals made a year
ago in his first annual message.
The president also urged that
steps be taken to accord to the
Negroes their full constitution
al rights, that they should be
protected from all of those i'm
positions to which from their
position they naturally fall a
prey, especially from the crime
of lynching."
