Advice on EvergreenS
By United Press

By JNItCu PTeSS
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 24.-Au-
gust is a favorable time for trans
planting evergreens, according to
Professor R. B. Rull of Purdue uni
versity. While top growth has
stopped for the season, root growth
will continue until later, and ever
greens transplanted in August will
have an opportunity to become es-
tablished before freezing weather.
Trees more than two feet in height
should be burlapped to hold the soil
to the roots, Hull said, adding that
occasional watering, even during
winter, is beneficial to evergreens.

Sixty Pullman
POrters In N. Y.
Are Dropped

NEW YORK.-Sixty porters work
ing on sleeping cars out of the
Pennsylvania terminal have been
dropped for six months this week
The order went into effect severa
days ago at which time the unlucky
workers found slips notifying them
of their vacation" in their pay en-
velopes.
A group of several porters who
came here from Birmingham, Ala.
to work for the Pullman Company
last year went back together last
week. The temporary lay-offs are
all among the men of the 1880
group'-those who entered the COM
pany's employ last year. Those who
have been with the Pullman inter
ests since 1929 or before are being
retained.
The lay-off, more or less a peri
odlc event when the Florida trains
are taken off the run after the
Southern season ends, is understood
to be heavier this year than last
In 1880 about fifty porters were let
out in the spring lay-off. With sixty
already out now. conjecture is rife
among those remaining over whether
there will be a second lay-off this
year.

City Officials
Force Orchestra
Out OF Their Job

ASBURY PARK, N. Trace
jealousy operated here this week
when the manager of the smart
Carleton Club was forced by city Of
fieials to Gust lawrence Hackney
and his 'Revelerse orchestra from
his club, which is located on the
board walk where they had contract
ed to play the entire season.
The manager, Mr.. Scheffty, stood
by his orchestra and gave in only
when he received threats to the eff
feet that his place would probably be
closed as a nuisance.
The officials cited their reason for
being against a colored orchestra
that last season Mickey Waters and
his Ambassadors orchestra, another
eolored unit, were very much too
friendly with white Mattresses and
entertainers employed at the club.
Mickey himself leaving in the middle
Of the season to live with one of the
women as husband and wife.
The Reyelers took up last season
where the Ambassadors left off, and
conducted themselves in such a gem
tlemanly manner they were given a
contract a year in advance.
1t is also believed that professional
jealousy among white musicians had
hand in the affair, they reporting
at the club at the rate of one band
each day for additions, but the man
ager refused to listen to any of their
wares.
Also after only two nights playing
at the club the Revelers had to ask
police protection for their cars. All
the motometers and extra fixtures
being stolen besides smashing of the
lights.

Wouldn't Leave
Hotel Elects
Negro Lawyer

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.-Refus-
ing to submit without protest to be-
ing barred from the exclusive Cotton
Manor Hotel here last week, j. Mer-
Ger Burrell, Newark attorney, was
elected from that hostelry.
The attorney had registered and
been assigned to a room in the hotel
as a delegate to the state meeting of
the Disabled Veterans Of American
Wars.
Tall Cedars Object
At the same time the Tall Cedars,
a Southern Masonic body, was hold
ing its meeting in the hotel and when
it was learned that Mr.. Burrell had
been quartered in the place, a dele
cation from this organization went
to the management and protested.
The manager then sent for the at
torney and Informed him that as his
presence in the hotel had been OBJ
.iected to by the white Tall Cedars,
he would have to ask him to leave.
Mr.. Burrell told the manager that
he would not leave voluntarily but
would insist upon being elected
whereupon the house detectives were
sent for and the attorney put out.
Is Brought Back
When delegates to the Disabled
Veterans of the American Wars
learned of what had happened. they
protested and some of them started
to leave the hotel themselves. AT
the banquet large body of them
went for Mr.. Burrell and escorted
him in the hotel, insisting that he at

DEF riest Speech
Divides Durham
In Factions

DURHAM, N. C.-When Oscar
DePriest, the militant congressman
from the First Illinois district. Chi
cago, spoke here last week, quite a
furore was created due to several
statements from the congressman
and reiterations rising from the fact
that DR.. James E. Shepard, president
of North Carolina College for Ne
groes, supported the candidacy of
Judge John j. Parker for the U. S.
Supreme Court last year.
According to the extra" edition
put out by the Carolina Times. Dur
ham Negro weekly, it is said that DIR.
Shepard refused to attend an affair
at which DePriest was present when
he learned of DePriest's attitude to-
wards him about the Parker incident.
DePriest, when asked how he could
make statements about man he
chad never met" replied that he
"didn't want to meet him."
Several of Durham's business lead
ers left the affair after DIR. Shepard
left, and some attempted to persuade
DR.. Shepard to attend anyway, but
the educator refused to do so.
DePriest called certain Durham
leaders handkerchief heads" and ii
was presumed that this reference
was meant for DR.. Shepard.
r. McCants Andrews is said to
have told the congressman that the
Negroes of North Carolina agreed
with DR.. Shepard in supporting Park
er's nomination. but the congress
man asserted that this was untrue
since he had received letters from al
over the state of North Carolina dur
ing the race, saying that the Negroes
of the state were firmly opposed tt
the nomination of Parker
This reply to Andrews caused ;
disturbance. North Carolina, excep
for a small few in Durham, wer,
solidly lined up against the confirm
alton of Judge Parker, who finally
lost the most.
The Times brought out a specia
"extra" after the incident, and als'
stated that the remarks made by De
Priest about DIR. Shepard were mad
in DR.. Stewards absence. and con
demns DePriest for this conduct, al
leging that the attack was unfair
Sentiment appears to be divide,
between DePriest and the Durham
ties, with no margin either way. al
though there were many citizens VIII
condemned Shepard's action of en-
dorsing Parker. even in his hom
town. The Times states. editorially
that the affair was "a series of blum
ders, prompted by selfish motives.
