tWlta your Mr. Paley," Wonders said. "I'd" like you to the Mills Brothers." With that brief Introduction he signalled to the ewhat startled boys to sing. They did, and so delighted was the execute with their unique vocal renditions that hit sent word td Wonders to them continue. And for more than an hour the four went from a song to another, dozens of them altogether.

Three daya later they were scheduled for thelr flrst broadcast. There oo advance ballyhoo. Not' a line of print, other. than the bare pro Cn listing, heralded their network debut. They went on thf air "cold." is soon as their program half way completed, those around the Qjoi realized that here was the "hottest" outfit that had come to Ljio in many Wabash moons.

And as soon as their flfteen mlnuta Vitcbboard was Codded with calls from listeners. "Who are they?" Wt kind of instrument do they use?" "How do they make them slres sound like an orchestra?" is I hear them again?" Veteran musicians and orchestra Viy their voices they could simulate Vba, clarinet, saxophone and trombone. Unled the singing of the Mills brothers. Their success was immediate. Newspapers and the listening public's moments stamped the fastest "click" in radio history.

They were Jcheduled for four broadcasts the following week, and definite proof of itlr literal overnight popularity occurred when a single program was Welled for a speech of special Importance. For forty five minutes two Vctesses were busily answering hundreds of calls with assurances that the brothers would return to the sir the following Monday.

Before their father Tied barber, he and their mother sang in vaudeville and wherever they iinced to get an engagement. I The boys began singing together when John was but thirteen and Donald a mere nine. At first they performed for stray pennies, nickels ad dimes once they received a quarter hut their fathf, wishing to ep them off the streets, set them up as entertainers in his barbershop.

Business doubled, and the Mills were enabled to keep the hovering wolf the door. At the same time their three sisters also were asserting themselves Busically. One played the violin, one the piano, and the third sang. Today, two are married and one is a registered nurse. The brothers axe particularly emphatic about the "registered." They are quite proud of Finally, the brothers graduated to pouse.

By this time, tlfey had developed the unique har pny which happened quite by aocldent.

BOSTON, Mass, Apr. 7. Taking for his subject, "Twice Lived Lives" as his final Episcopal address Sunday morning at the Columbus Ave. A. M.

E. Zion Church, the Rt Rev. Bishop William J. Walls, of Chicago, presiding bishop of the New England Conference, said that "it has been said that the Negroes do not venture the larger and perilous things in life, because they are dominated with fear of death; and this is due to the alleged fact that Negro preachers proclaim the horrors of hell." The dynamic bishop paid a glowing tribute to William M. Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, and secretary of the National Equal Rights League.

He said, "the spirit of a Trotter in a state or race only comes once in a century, the spirit to dare for convictions, to constructive ideals into history and mould them into practice and to sacrifice. Trotter Is another Ghandl of India. He has sacrificed all of life's material good and social ease for bis race. A man like Trotter will never be missed until bis eyeo are closed in death." The bishop said that the Negroea of America should build a monument to him. Waxing in bitter sarcasm the junior bishop of the Zion connection said his religious body has suffered more than anything in his Judgment.

"All because of our efforts to build political schools and side clicks and throw our wjole energies in the common cause." He said that the coming general conference will be the same as In previous years, facing perils because "delegates and leaders will use self designs for the principal positions and the best situations' in the appointments, all to the detriment of the church." The bishop said that the Zion connection is not suffering because of the depression, but that Cffeir present financial chaos began after, the close of the 1924 general conference, because of revolutionary legislature which elected the largest number of officials that was ever elected at any one time. This change, he said, was made by a self constituted few to go at the credit for these change and to organlij a partisan group whose leadership would exclude others from activity and Influence In the councils, then the weaklings began to fatten, he said. In bitter criticism at officers and leaders of the connection, the bishop painted a gruesome picture of them standing facing each other like gigantic fighting cocks with feathers abristle, and spurs to strike. He said there were times when of; They are the pride of Harlem where they have established themselves In one of that community's most luxurious apartment houses. they own a car driven by a liveried chauffeur.

They boys are rushed hither and yon by police escort. They have but little time to themselves, but they're riding the crest of a wave. Harry and Don "like New Tork immensely. John and Herbert prefer Cincinnati. John and Herbert left their girls In Cincinnati.

Men suspended or expelled for misappropriation of the church fund.s were picked up by new co ope a bishops and put into churches with these records of blacknesi he said. Making a further attack on certain leaders, the bishop said that "our financial board has not been called to sit witb the secretary and chairman to consider Its business in class council this quadrennial." In dramatic tone and actions, the bishop from Chicago said that they scarcely ever close a council or bishop's meeting with the necessary facts in. Some of our connections! meetings have been closed by the will of the chairman, who hurried away, apparenUy trying to keep some matter from coming up." These are samples of our doings that have caused non cooperation, be said. Apparently suffering from the financial condition of his connection.

Bishop Walls tearfully said that "we are the only Negro church that can not pay its salary today, and every school we have is on the verge of being closed, to say nothing of facts that we have over borrowed in every department. Even in the face of this we are continuing to thrust Mrs. Ida Smith, willing missionary treasurer, into debt that we know she will not live to see paid." The bishop reported a successful Youth Congress, held last week at New Lor Ion. Conn, many prominent leaders of both races attending and participating. He said over $2,000 was raised for benevolent and general conference expenses.

J. mum mm DISK mm: I pnn EM MIAMI, Apr. 7 Tall, erect and active at the age of 92, and having had associations with Presidents, generals and many of the most important personages of his time, the life story of Major Alfred Christopher Gog gins, now a native here, reads like a thrilling adventure story. He was born November 24, 1839, in Richmond District, S. C.

a few miles distant from the city of Colombia, on Plantation No. 3. of his master. General Wade Hampton. The name Alfred Christopher, was a rather ambitious cognomen Xo be stow on a Negro child, born in slavery.

The first name was for England's great and wise king, and the middle name for the great navigator and discoverer of America. However, in early life he was not called by either of these high sounding names, but by the familiar nickname of "Bud." His father's name was Mitchell and he was the property of General Martin Withers poon Gary His mother's name was Laura. Her father was a native of Africa, of the Gamba tribe and son of a chief tain. His paternal grandfather was a white man. an Irishman, by the name of Jesse Goggins, an overseer on one of General Hampton's planta There were three of the Gog glnses, brothers, and they were all overseers for General Hampton.

It was customary for slaves to bear the surnames of their masters, and these were changed with each change of ownership. Thus, until be was emancipated. he was or "Bud" Hampton, and his father was Mitchell Gary. But with free dom rame the right to choose a fam ily name. His father chose to be known by the name of his own father.

So, Goggins became the family name. When the child was three and a half years old he put on the auction block and sold, along with his mother ar.d 148 others. A "speculator" was the purchaser, and he took his purchase to Mississippi and sold the entire number to a wealthy planter by the name of Babson who lived somewhere south of Vlckeburg. Three years later General Hamp ton went "to Mississippi and repurchased or redeemed them all and brought them back to South Carolina. The price he paid for A.

was 1.1 00. It was winter time and the weather was cold. On the way the General purchased shoes for every one. Major Goggins has a vivid recollection of the circumstances, for he had never worn' shoes before. "I can say to his credit." (said the subject of this sketch, referring to General Hampton) "that he never afterwards sold a slave, though he owned a great the number at the time of the emancipation proclamation being upwards of 5300.

Out of the vast number of his servants General Hampton chose A. C. to attend him as bis body guard during the dangerous period of the Civil War. This was a high testimonial to the esteem In which he was held by his master, who trusted Implicitly in his honesty, in tegrity, tact and discretion. While serving in this capacity he became known to all the prominent onicers of the Confederate Army.

General Hampton sent him several times into the camps of the enemy as a snv He executed these com missions with so much tact and fidelity that hi services were demanded by the Confederate Army. He went and came, passing sentries, enterinz camps, "listening in on conversations, by hook and by crook. getting the information he was sent to obtain and lailhxuuy reporting to those who sent him. Seven times be entered the city of Washington. Four times be was admitted to the presence of President Lincoln, who shook him warmly oy tne nana ana asked him questions, no doubt be llevlnz that the boy gave him I Dortant Information concerning th movements' of the Confederate armies.

Sometimes he would run away and return to General Hampton, who would send him back again to his dangerous duties. In all these adventurous undertakings ne never even suspected of being a spy. The war was ended. The slaves were freed. A new future opened up for the young Negro man.

What hould ha do? He did not know. Only one thing was clear In his mind. That was that he must have an education to fit him for the "new duties of citizenship. Whatever vo cation he mlsrht choose to'follow, he ought' to be able, at least to read and write In January. 1888, be being 28 years of age, an ex Confederate soldier taught him the letters and how to snelL He tackled Webster's sneller with sreat avidity.

He ate it up. He spelled and read it through three times in three montns. Then be went to Atlanta. There he was recognized by Alexander H. Stephens, who asked him: "What are you doing here.

Bud? "I want an education," the young man replied. have come to At lanta to see If I can get schooL" into a That's right. Bud." said Mr. Ste phens. "I am glad you want an education.

Some Yankee ladies have opened up a school down on Huston street a night school. Go down there to night and make application for admission. Come back tomor row and let me know if you get in." The next dsy he went back to report bis success and met Mr. Bob Toombs and General Longstreet who knew him very well. They were Interested to know that he desired an education, and they proved their Interest by making up money to pay bis expenses, and they kept him in school until he took his A.

B. degree. He earned or won a scholarship in Amherst College, where he studied for ivo years, being the first Negro alumnus of that institution. He joined the Unltett States Army in 1873, becoming a member of Troop D. which was known as the "Black Horse Troop." He was First Sergeant of that troop for about tan years.

It will be remembered that when Grover Cleveland was elected Presi dent of the United States the first time, he was a bachelor. His sister. Miss Rose Lee Cleveland, was, for two years, mistress of the White House. Sergeant Goggins was detailed to serve as military aide to the First Lady of the Land during that period. A responsible and highly honorable position, and another recognition of those sterling traits of character that have distinguished blm throughout his picturesque ca reer.

When the period of this serv ice was terminated by the marriage of the president. Sergeant Goggins was returned to his troop. A short time afterwards he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant Major. which he held until he received his honorable discharge in 1918. During the Spanish American War, in the advance on San Juan Hill he was wounded in the left side and also lost one of his middle fingers, but.

notwithstanding his wounds, he kept his place oa the firing line until the armistice. General Joe Wheeler, of Alabama. General Lawton, of the Regulars, and Colonel Roosevelt, of the Rough Riders, held bis hands and assisted while Colonel Wood administered first aid. taking several stitches and dressing the wounds. In 1908 his troop was stationed in the Philippines.

General W. H. Carter sent for him, to come to his headquarters. "How would you like to make a tour of the world. Major?" the Gen eral asked.

Imagine a question like that, pro pounded by a man like General Car ter, the senior Major General or the United States Army: A question ad dressed to a subordinate officer. whom be might have ordered to any military duty without consulting him as to his willingness to perform It. Of course he would like to make a tour of the world. Especially if he might do so under the wing and protection of General carter wnom he had known a long time. A southern man.

a Virginian, a gallant soldier and a true gentleman. ajor Goesins answered like the soldier that be was. "Well, ship your stuff home, then; get ready, and let's get going. The President desired information concerning all the governments of the world: presumably of military. but possibly of economic character as welL It was a confidential it not a secret mission; international in its scope and Important in the highest degree.

The President chose for these duties the man best qualified to perform them. General Carter must needs have an orderly, an an aide. an assistant. One who would be absolutely trustworthy, one whose In tezritv and discretion had stood severe test, one on whom he could relv in any emergency. The fact that his choice fell on Major Gog gins was the highest testimonial to the esteem in which he neia nun.

The first official visit was to Eng land, then to France, then to Ger many, and all the European coun tries. Then to Asls Africa and Australia. They were in Europe a year and six months, in Asia IS months. in Africa two years and nine months, in Australia a year and In South America six months. They visited every capital in those coun tries.

Tpor were received by tne rreat UKwb world men and women of the highest dignity and official position. They traveled by every means of conveyance. They crossed deserts, jungles and mountain ranges. They traversed the African continent and the Major visited the country of his maternal grandfather. They visited Rome and Athens, Con stantinople and They were In Jerusalem four times.

Perha; srhaps snder no man ever made a more wo ful tour. A relation of all their ex periences and adventures would make a wonderfully interesting book. They returned to the United States In 1918. and Major Gorgins. having been in continuous military service for 35 years, obtained an honorable discharge and retired to private Ufa But when the tocsin of war sounded in 1917.

be heard the call. It stirred his patriotlo blood and he offered bis services to bis country again, and though he was 78 years old. bis services were accepted. He was given the.raak of Brevet Major and sent to France in 1917. He was placed in command of a 1.000 men and assigned the duty of unloading munitions at the port of Brest.

France. A duty which he continued to perform until the war ended. He was married in May. 1879(. at Fort Ethan Allen.

His two daughters are married to ex service men and live on farms In New York state. Early in his military career he established the first military night school, teaching those who. cared to employ their spare time in stndy and relf improvement.

The school grew and prospered until it attracted thf attention of officers, who expanded and continued the experiment. By and by these schools received official sanction and have been made an established Institution la the army. Before he ever entered the army be learned the blacksmith trade. He took pride In his work and became an adapt at horseshoeing. He occu pied part of his time while, in the army In the shoeing of.

About SO per cat of all his 5.000 slaves became members of that church. Major Goggins was christened by Dr. afterwards Bishop Capers, a man of great power and inflpence in his day.

He has remain ed true to that faith, and now attends St. Agnes Episcopal Chsrcfc in Mlsml. whose reotor is Rev. CuK mer. who is' accounted one of the brainiest men of his race.

Major Goggins has been in Miami for the past ten years. Since tak ing up his residence here he has had experience in the "movies." His first picture' 1922 was the "Passion Vine." In it he had the leading role. that of a Samonian chieftain. Ramon Navarro and Hunchback George also played in the same picture. In the "Exciters" (1923) he had the leading role In the second act.

a change of viewpoint if she will give sympathetic and intelli gent attention to many of the worth while courses that her school offers her. For instance it Is probable that If she will give some attention to the lives of some of the truly great char acters in the history of the world she win discover that. they will as sist her to give up such a narrow point of view as she now holds. They will also teach her not to" attempt to be merely "smart" but to try to acquire some profound un derstanding in a spirit of honest inquiry, humility and sympathy. This is a part of the meaning of education: to come through the process with a progressive desire, not only for an understanding of nature but of the far more complex and in tricate problems of human life; with a 'determination to keep calm and civilised no matter how strong the incitement to hatred, prejudice and savagery develop habits of clear thinking and not mere faculty in the juggling of words; to be able to "see life steadily and see It whole." For the life of me I cannot under stand how any Negro can take the position that his sympathies rt oat only so Negroes) who have been mat treated and persecuted.

I can see only one reason for such an attitude; and thai Is one of rather aneciUf bt ened stlflihiwos, I mean that Ne groes who take this position do tt for the seas on that they envisage themselves being inlstreated. They believe that there Is some special type of peiseoatluu aeeerded te Ne srroea and that It may be their tarn ext. They are sorry for the Scotts boro beys Deoanse tbey are afraid that something of a similar nature may happen to them. In fact there la very little of the spirit of brother hood and of altruism La the average Negro. Ha baa nose of the staff of which the martyr, the great leader and the saiat are made.

I hold that no Negro can be genuinely and disinterestedly alarmed over the Scottsboro affair who Is callous about Mooney and Billings or who turned a deaf ear to the case Of Saeco Vanxettl, the state of Alabama murders these colored boys It will commit no greater offense against NEGROES than the state of Messachnsetts committed against NEGROES wbsn that state murder ed Sacco and VanxettL They are both Crimea aaginst humanity and no amount of so called race pride or racial solicitude will remove one Utile of this fact. A Negro who can remain unmoved In the presence of a hungry white child is no fit person. In the long run, to trust a hungry Negro child with. The human race Is one and despite all the meanness and prejudice that exists the finest people' are those who believe in and act on this principle. It is white people of this type and they are not as scarce as Negroes claim who have made it possible for us to git anywhere at all In this country.

It la right at this point that Negroes miss a most gtoriesas opportun ity to make a treoeodoew and last Lag eotttrtbutlea te decency and crv lOxaUoa.
