lit national event. Reports for 1924
from localities as widely scattered as
Chicago, ILL.,, Little Rock, Ark. Chat

Angeles, CAL, and New Orleans. La,
show how far and wide the idea has
carried. Many newspapers published
editorials ana extracts from the -sug-
gestions prepared by the Commission
on the Church and Race Relations.
White and colored churches ex-
changed choirs, and special speakers;
visits were exchanged between the
churches of the two races. A num-
Der of church forums had special
speakers for the occasion.
The exchange of ideas and
thoughts. the contact and observation
which these programs promote, will
contribute much toward the annihila-

JUDGES
SUSTAIN LOWER
COURT RULING
Garvey Acted as Own Attorney
and Was Only One to
Be Convicted.

New York, Feb. 6-Marcus Garvey
lost his appeal for a new trial Mon
day in the United States circuit
court of appeals and must serve a
fiye-year term in prison and pay a
$1,000 fine.
Garvey was convicted in June,
1923 on on Indictment charging him
with using the mails in scheme to
defraud in connection with the sale
of worthless stock in the Black Star
Steamship line. He was sentenced
by Federal Judge Mack.
During the trial Garvey acted as
his own attorney and was the only
one of the numerous Garveyites to
be convicted. e, He appealed his case
in a printed volume of 5000 pages.
An effort is being made by Assist
ant United States Attorney Mattuek,
who prosecuted the case to send
Garvey to Atlanta as soon as pos
sible.
Fraud Declared.
The high courts opinion summar-
lied the indictment as declaring that
the entire scheme was to persuade
members of the Race to buy stock in
the Black Star line at IS share,
when the defendants knew that, not
with standing fiorid representations
the shares were not, and in all prob
ability never could be, worth SIS each
or any other sum.
The persons indicted with Garvey
were acquitted and Garvey was con-
victed on only one count. In af-
firming the conviction Judge Hough
said:
1T may be true that Garvey
fancied himself a Noses If not a
Messiah, that he believed himself
man with a message to deliver, but
believed that he needed ships for the
deliverance of his people; but with
this assumed, it remains true that
IL his gospel consisted in part Of
exhorations to buy worthless stock,
accompanied by false statements as
to the worth therof, he was guilty
of a scheme or artifice to defraud.
Stripped of its appeal to the am
billions, emotions or race conscious
ness of men of Color, 1t was a sim
pie and fraudulent device by which
the object (as so many others) was
to ascertain how it could best un-
load upon the public its capital stock
at the largest possible price,"

JUDGMENT FOR
$4,000 WON IN
THEATRE CASE
N. A. A. c. p. Helps Win Civil
Rights Case Against
Chicago Theater.

Judgment for $4,000 against the
Tivoli Theatre Company of Chicago,
has been won by colored man, Leon
w. Headen. in a case fought with the
assistance of the Chicago Branch
and the National Office of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, to recover
for exclusion from the theatre on the
ground-pf color, and for assault and
battery committed in ejecting him.
Mr.. Headen charged that he pur-
chased tickets for performance at
the theatre and when the tickets
were presented, ii was endeavored to
make him and his companion, Miss
Lillian s. Proctor, sit in another part
of the house than that to which their
tickets entitled them. Upon refus-
ing to change places, theatre attend
ants, 1t is charged, assaulted them,
severely beating Mr.. Headen.
To prosecute the case it was neces-
sary for Miss Proctor to go from New
York to Chicago to give her testi,
mony. The National Office of the N.
A. A. C. P. sent Miss Proctor to Chi.
cago to enable her to testify.
william H. Haynes, attorney, was
in charge of the case. with the ad,
vice of Edward n. Morris. In the
ttrtai t1o actiohs, one brought under
the Civil Rights Law, and the other
for assault and battery, were merg-
ed.
The N. A. A. C. p. was glad to CO.
operate with Mr.. Headen and At
torneys Haynes and Morris because
this case against the Tivoli Theatre,
it is felt. will serve notice upon q
number of theatres in Chicago that
they cannot discriminate against col
ored people with impunity. Fol
some time a considerable number OF
theatres in that city have denied ad-
mission to colored people; have
sought to segregate colored patrons
and in other ways deny to them
rights assured them under the Civil
Rights Act of the State of Illinois
1t is hoped that the $4,000 verdict
gained by Mr.. Headen will have q
salutary effect in protecting the
rights of pther colored citizens and
ending abuses which have been pre-
valent.

NO RACE, COLOR, CREED
IN s750,000 PRESENT
Kaufmann's Special Interest Is
Settlement Named After
His Daughter.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 31.-At the
thirtfeth anniversary Of the found
ing of the Irene Kaufman Settle
ment, Mr.. Henry Kaufman, brother
of the one for whom the settlement
is named gave to the institution a
piece of property valued at $750,00O.
The property is located in the heart
of the downtown district of Pitts
burgh and should increase in value
each year.
In 1910, Mr.. Kaufman gave $780,
900 to the Columbia School and
Settlement" under the condition that
| it should thereafter be called the
Irene Kaufman Settlement" in
memory of his daughter. In 1920,
the 25th anniversary of the settle
ment Mr.. Kaufman gave an addi-
tional s250,000 to provide larger
quarters. Besides these large and
special gifts, he has given yearly
sums to the settlement to maintain
its upkeep. In all he has made gifts
to the institution approximating
100000.
Color Blind
Although Mr.. Kauffman's special
interest has been the settlement
named after his daughter, he has al
ways given to other worthy causes,
both in Pittsburg and in New York.
Through. the Kaufman Settlement
he has provided way for many
young people that wanted school
ing and did not have the means to
get one.
The outstanding feature of the set
tlement is that there are no restric-
tions as to color, creed or religion.
Mr.. Kaufman was lately rendered
a dinner by the Board Of Trustees
and Directors of the Settlement,
which was attended by many notables
of Pittsburg.

WHAT IS A RACE
ASKS B0AS IN THE
JANUARY NATION
Children Do Not Have Race
Antagonism Until Taught
1t, Says Writer.

Opening a series of articles on the
"Nordic Myth" to be published In
The Nation, DR.. Franz Boas, Pro-
fessor of Anthropology at Columbia
University, analyses present con-
cepts of race, and race prejudice in
the issue of Jan. %. DR.. Boas denies
that hereditary mental distinctions
between races have ever been estab-
lished. He says:
THE occurrence of hereditary
mental traits that belong to
particular race has never been
proved. The available evidence
makes IL much more likely that
the same mental traits appear In
varying distribution among the
principal racial groups. The be-
havior of an individual is there
fore not determined by his ra-
cial Affiliations, but by the char
acter of his ancestry and his cul-
tural environment. We may
Judge of the mental character
istics of families and individuals,
but not of races"
DIR. Boas points out that children
do not have race antagonism until
they are taught to have it: "As the
child grows up the dividing line be-
tween the races is impressed upon 1t
and in this way the race conscious
ness develops until it becomes pure
ly automatic reaction which evokes
the same intensity of feeling as the
so-called instructive reactions"
DIR. Boas further points out that 1t
is impossible to frame such a des-
cription of any race that all of its
members will be included: "a whole
racial group can never be described
by a few descriptive terms, because
there will always be many individu-
ais of deviating types. 1t is our i'm
preston that the Swede is blond,
blue-eyed, tall, and longheaded; but
many Swedes do not conform to this
description. We cannot assign one
individual to one race, another to an
other, because we do not know the
degree of variability found in the
ancestral isolated race, and on ac-
count of the long continued mixture
the characteristics of the parental
races will appear in varying combina-
tions in each individual. All at
tempts to establish among members
of the same social group correlations
between mental character and bodily
form have failed"
Asserting that many hereditary
characteristics are not racial in char
acter, but must be assigned to
family strains" DR.. Boas concludes
that: 'If this be true, 1t is clear that
any generalized characterization of a
race must be misleading. 1t may be
possible to characterize family lines,
but the assumption of general racial
characteristics anatomical, physio-
logical, or mental, excepting those
that belong to the race as whole. is
arbitrarily made"
