Residents rushed in terror from
homes, hotels and theaters, with
natives throughout the city fall
ing on their knees and offering
prayers for Divine protection.
Rain and bright flashes OF
lightning added to the confusion
as traffic halted and lights went
out for a short time, but calm
was restored within an hour.

The casualties occurred when a
wall in one of the older streets
tunbled down. The rain helped
firemen to fight the blazes re-
ported from two sections in the

DENY NeW Loan for
American Telephone

There is no truth in reports
that American Telephone & Tel

financing this year, according to
responsible quarters today. It
is doubtful if the company will
do any financing in 1881 as the
monies received from record fl

long way toward taking care of
1881 needs.

LOew's Victoria Theatre
Removes Color Bar

NEW YORK.-Strang as it may
seem, up until the latter part of last
year when they began to advertise in
Negro periodicals, it was the policy
Of Loew's Victoria Theater. located
n the Heart of Harlem" on 125th
Street, between Seventh and Eighth
Avenues, to direct all of its cOlored
patrons to the balcony, regardless of
the fact that they had purchased tick
cts calling for seats on the first floor.
Numerous law suits and much
trouble prevailed during the practice
of this very unfair policy, and as a
result the colored patronage, so per
cent of the theater's support, dwin-
died down to such great extent that
it took large slices of the income.
The Victoria is Loew chain thea
ter with a seating capacity of more
than 1000 and at the present time
one will find the house Just about
half full of white patrons with only
a few colored scattered here and
there.
C. s. Burns, newly appointed man
ager, stated that beginning this week
and throughout the summer month,
he will distribute thousands of passes
each week in Harlem in order to
build up the colored patronage to
what it should be, and at the same
time solicit their good will. He says
colored folks will be welcomed from
now on.

New York Medicos Favor
Birth Control

This is a fast moving age. Just the other day the
house of commons Of Great Britain passed a measure
repeating all the blue laws which had been on the
statute books since l725. This Is the face Of the pro-
test Of important clericals and religious bodies in Eng
land and North Ireland and Scotland and Wales
Many OF these laws had been obsolete for years but
the church organizations demanded that the breath
OF life should be blown into the statutes and that they
should function from this time on. Party lines were
obliterated. Prime Minister Macdonald of the labor
government and former Prime Minister Chamberlain
of the Tory government were found on the side OF
the repealers. Many Scotch and Welsh laborites voted
against their chieftains. Many Tories followed the
leadership Of Chamberlain.
On this side OF the ocean the Texas legislature pass
ed a local option movie measure. DE Sun Do Move,
Brother Jasper.
Now the New York Academy of Medicine. after
months of consideration. has passed resolutions ask
ing a change in federal and state laws TO exempt ply
sicians from existing inhibitions in statutes" concern
ing birth control information. Indeed. the Academy
described as medieval the failure OF physicians to
educate the public in sex matters. 1t said efforts should
be made TO change their attitude. 1t also
the teaching Of contraceptive methods in medical
colleges and hospital clinics and the organization n
birth control clinics in hospitals and dispensariss
wherever needed.
Evolution. or in other words the eternal law OF
growth and advancement, appears to be on Its way
the wide world over.
