SPIRITUALISM BLAMED FOR WIFE'S DOWNFALL 12 PAGES FOR THREE CENTS Husband Says Spiritualism Led Wife to Err Mrs. Clementina Wolcott, Wife of Business Man, Surprised By Husband and Detectives in Local Hotel With Man-To Sue or Divorce. Mrs. Clementina Walcott. West 133rd street, wife of J. C. Walcott, proprietor of one Mahattain Shoe Repairing Co. located at 270 West 130th street, and a man believed to be Fred Lincoln, chauffeur and stock salesman, were evicted from the Hotel Olga about 1:30 Sunday night by the proprietor, Ed. H. Wilson, following a raid staged by Mr. Walcott, together with operatives from Boulins' National Detective Agency, 2376 Seventh avenue. The pair were registered as Mr. and Mrs. Jones of Brooklyn. To a reporter for the Amsterdam News, Mr. Wolcott said that at the time the room was invaded by the detectives, his wife and the man were nude. He informed the proprietor, who was asleep in his room, that the woman was his wife, and both were immediately turned out of the hotel. Mr. Wolcott, through his attorney, Pope B. Billings, 206 Broadway, is suing his wife in the Supreme Court for absolute divorce. Mrs. Walcott is, or was, an active member in the spiritualist church of a Rev. John. 116 W. 122d Street, and, according to Mr. Walcott, his wife's belief in spiritualism is primarily responsible for his matrimonial troubles. He also stated that, following Rev. John's arrest, last September, in connection with a charge of a very serious nature, Mrs. Walcott loaded the reverend $240. This amount, he said, was to be remanded to his wife in spiritualist's lessons at three dollars each. Chas. Walcott, a grocer, whose store is located at 31 West 121st Street, a brother, was present when the couple were surprised. They left the hotel in a taxi. WAR RECORD OF OUR TROOPS IS PRAISED Vice-President Coolidge Says Race Has Justified Lincoln. Tuskegee, Ala., February 12.—America stands unchangeably committed to the principle of the right to individual freedom made clear by Abraham Lincoln, Vice-President Coolidge declared to-day in an address dedicating the $2,000,000 Government hospital here for Negro veterans of the World War. "In the less than seventy years that the Negroes in America have been in the enjoyment of freedom, they have made marvellous progress," said the Vice-President. "That progress is shown most of all in the honest, industrious way in which the great body of their people have performed the plain, everyday duties of life." "When the call came in time of war they were ready and desirous to respond. In spite of every deception of temptation to which public enemies artificially subjected them, they exhibited a loyalty and devotion to the cause of America which was misappared. Nearly 400,000 of them went to military services." "God Has Been Expelled From Our Churches" DENVER, Feb. 12—The Colorado House of Representatives adopted a resolution of censure this afternoon over the sentiments expressed in the opening prayer of Chaplain J. R. Kader. Sections of the prayer which drew fire were: "Our courts are corrupt; God has been expelled from our churches; our pulpits are filled with essayists; our boys and girls are going to the dogs; our laboring men are going to work with empty pails, while our fathers starve and the middle men wax fat on exorbitant prices; our banks are burying with money." Banker Anderson Held for Shortage Jacksonville Financier, the Owner of Building in New York City Charged With Embezzling $95,000— Enmity Seen in Proceed- ings. (Preston News Service.) Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 13. Charles H. Anderson, former cash- ter of Anderson & Co., bankers, who was arrested last Monday evening on a charge of embezzling $95,000 of the funds of the bank, was released on Tuesday on a $2, 000 bond. It is said that immediately upon the closing of the bank, Anderson, his lawyer and a committee of three depositors went to Tallahassee and arranged with the Comproller and deeded over to three trustees enough of his personal holdings to cover any shortage that may arise while the bank is being liquidated. After making deeds to about $60,000 worth of real estate, Anderson was served with papers to throw him in bankruptcy in the United States Court, where the case is now. In order to get the several petitioners to withdraw, Anderson has made another deed to cover everything he owns. According to certified public accounts and State officials, it is believed that the affairs of the bank could be easily adjusted with the co-operation of the petitioners. TWO KILLED AND FIVE INJURED IN ACCIDENT (Preston News Service) MADISON, FLA.

The whole back of the car was torn to pieces. It is said that the car was going at twenty miles an hour when the accident occured. The injured are: Miss Mamie Proctor, both legs broken above the knees, cut on eye; Edmund Garrett, left shoulder broken, cut on head; J. C. Washington, cut over left eye, hurt internally; Nannie Rogers, cut on cheek and head, bruise on side; Miss Mattie Garrett, minor injuries.

Funeral service was held at The Mother, M. J. F. Church. Article in Messenger Supports Dr. Percy Stickney Grant The controversy between Bishop Manning and Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, of the Church of the Ascension, over the latter's belief in the fundamental dogmas of the Episcopal Church would not be properly ended if Negroes did not express themselves on the matter. Dean Pleckens, contributing editor of the Messenger Magazine, has a very interesting article on the subject in the February issue. The article is entitled "Things Nobody Believe" and is in effect a declaration of religious faith on the part of Prof. Pleckens. Frankly and without dispute of any kind the writer denies that any intelligent persons believes that Jonah was swallowed by a whale and lived in its belly for three days; "that the sun ever stood still"; that there is a materialistic "heaven situated anywhere" that the sun ever added "a poor human, named Joshua" to give him a chance "to slaughter a few more of his fellowmen"; that there is a loke of fire and briststone or any such material hell anywhere; that the Red Sea ever divided for the children of Israel to go across; that there ever was a universal flood; "that any priest ever wrought a miracle"; that the devil ever carried God into a Mountain; that all the billion-billion human beings will ever rise from the dead; that God who made the universe. could ever have need for helping Himself out by "miracles"; that, finally, "nobody believes that anybody also believes these absurdities with intelligence." This article marks a new departure as an expression of religious faith on the part of a prominent "race leader." Clearly the "ol' time "liglon" has lost its grip upon many of the intellectuals of the races. A few members of the race will applaude the article but the attitude of the rank and file, where the faith of their fathers is involved, seems certain. GUNMAN IS CAPTURED AFTER SHOOTING MAN During a heated altercation in a restaurant on Lenox avenue last Saturday, Didrick Nickens, of 201 West 142d street, drew a revolver and shot his opponent, John Wooten, of 220 West 134th street, several times. With the smoking weapon in his hand Nickens dashed into the street and up Lenox avenue. Detective John J. Scott and Patrolman Greenborough, both of the 38th Precinct, dashed after him, followed by a large crowd. Throwing the gun into a snowbank the fugitive darted into the subway station at 145th street, where he was overtaken by the two officers. Wooten, who was badly hurt about the thighs and abdomen, was taken to Harlem Hospital. Later, he and a witness of the shooting named Bones, identified Nickens as the assailant. Nickens was held without ball for a hearing on Wednesday morning. BISHOP SMITH BURIED DETROIT, Mich., Feb. 8.—Bishop Charles Spencer Smith, retired, of the A. M. E.

The old woman, after a feeble unsuccessful attempt to extinguish the blaze, hurried into the hall, leaving the door open. Flames Spread The current of air shot the flames forward into the paint and paperhanging shop of Samuel Moran, white, who, with his wife, runs the house and the shop. Oils and paper were fuel, and in a few seconds the blaze, shooting upward and outward, turned the house into a furnace and cut off escape of cloven tenants on the two upper floors. Mrs. Moran was in the rooms of Mrs. F. Brown on the fourth floor rear, listening with Mrs. Brown to a radioed eulogy of Lincoln, when they heard the cry of fire. The latter woman had just sent her ten-year-old son, Rudolph, to the basement restaurant for some food. mained where she was, unharmed.

Confesses to Eight Murders, Is Claim One Burned, Several Imprisoned For His (Preston New Service.) Waco, Tex. Feb. 13—Following the arrest of Roy Mitchell and his confession to eight murders, local police and national guardsmen are taking over precaution to guard the fall in which Mitchell has been placed. The authorities say that rumors of the formation of a mob have been reaching them almost constantly. According to the police, murders and attacks for which one man was shot to death by the victim's father and two other men are in the pentagonal, have been cleared the alleged confession of Mitchell. They say they confessed to slaying Mr. and Mrs. Barker and Homer Turk, for which two Negroes are now serving terms in prison. One of them, Cooper Johnson, is under death sentence. He is said to have admitted the murder of Harrell Bolton a year ago and the attack on his girl companion. This girl pointed out a man as her assailant shortly after the crime was committed. Her father shot this man to death and his body was burned by a mob. He notified several other crimes. According to Prosecuting Attorney Farmer, it was in connection with the murder of W. E. Holl and Mrs. Evelyn Campbell that Mitchell and his breathing problems were arrested. The slaying of Skipworth had been blamed on an older Negro. But it developed that the evidence was not strong enough to hold him, despite the fact that Miss Naunt Boucher positively identified him as the man who shot her companion and threw his body over a cliff and subjected her to rough treatment. The crew applauded when the accused man was liberated. Mitchell is alleged to have confessed this crime. EDUCATORS ASK THAT LYNCHING BE FOUGHT WASHINGTON, D.

"The Negro" he said, "is a part of the American people and apart from the American people." Must Stop Fighting Ourselfs. Continuing, he said that the time has approached when the colored man in America must assert himself and combat the "nasturtious influences which grew out of the World War, and implored his listeners to stop fighting among themselves and fight the enemies outside the race. in an endeavor to bring about "the Sanhedrin" conference, Deal Miller stated that since he has been in the city he had interviewed and received hearty responses from officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, the African Blood Brotherhood, Friends of Negro Freedom, the Equal Rights League and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Professor Miller holds that political equality will not necessarily do away with other factors entering into the race problem and that the Negro comes nearer having equality in voting than in any other phase of American life. "What is most needed," he said, "is a great and compelling motive," without which our energies are paralyzed. The three greatest motives, which make it possible for a people to progress, he characterized as religion, patriotism and race. "The Negro," he declared, "cannot not be patriotic, even if he wanted to. He can be and is loyal, like the Jew, to any government under which he lives." Continuing, he praised the religious and spiritual life of the race and said the spiritual or altruistic motive would reeem the colored race and the world. HANGED IN MEXICAN JAIL AFTER ARGUMENT SAN DIEGO, Cal., Feb. 13.—Chester Carleton, an American, colored, who shot and killed Geo. Monteverde, member of the Mexican police at Tijuana, at the border town yesterday afternoon, was hanged in the Tijuana jail last night, according to reports reaching the international line.

Carleton, according to witnesses, shot and killed Monteverde and also wounded Torice Monteverde, brother of George, and two other men. It was reported that the shooting was due to a dispute over an accident to Carleton's automobile, which he is said to have joined to George Monteverde last Wednesday. WHITE CHILD TURNS OUT TO BE COLORED HARRISBURGH, ILL., Feb. 13. -Tracing descendants back many years, it has been found that a child, one of twins, adopted by a white family, is of Negro parentage. One of the twins was adopted by colored family and the other by a white family. Both individuals had been left at a State institution and later transferred to an exchange, probably accounting for the errors. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WED., FEBRUARY 14, 1923 Just Plain Murder Says Florida Judge Just Plain Murder Says Florida Judge Scores Justice of Peace for Neglecting Duty (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) GAINESVILLE, Fla., Feb. 13—In a long charge to the grand jury, Judge A. V. Long declared the action of justice of the peace in naming fundamental offenses of the lawmaking unwarranted and the action of the deputy in falling to place Abe Wilson, the accused, in county jail a misconduct of office. The charge of Judge Long, delivered exptemporaneously, follows: "The court charges you, gentlemen of the grand jury, that an order was issued that you reassemble that, subsequent to your dismissal the first week of the term, that you committed this county, in which one Abe Wilson lost his life at the hands, presumably, a mob. "The court desires to call your attention, first, to the fact that this man was charged with the larceny of a cow in a warrant issued by a justice of the peace of this county. It is the law of this State that no one shall be tried for a felony in the Circuit Court except upon an indictment found by a grand jury. The larceny of a cow, horse or cattle, is a felony and punishable by not less than two years' service under the State penitentiary. Regardless of this man's constitutional right and regardless of the fact that a justice's court had no right or authority to try and determine the guilt or innocence of Wilson, this justice of the peace, usurping the jurisdiction of a higher court, placed this man upon trial for petty larceny, valuing the cow at $15, and proceeded, in the night time, to try the case, rendering a judgment that he pay a fine of $300 and costs, or be committed to the county jail for a period of two years. Upon such a void as it was, and upon a commitment issued by him, as void as the blank paper upon which it was written, this man was incarcerated, not in the common jail of Alachua County, but in a jail at Newberry, and taken therefrom and executed. "It is also apparent from the files that this justice of the peace is the coroner who held the request; that, without any examination of the body of Wilson by those competent to judge or determine the cause of death that is to say, whether he died from hanging or whether he was murdered in some other way, and then hung up in order to throw responsibility upon him, unknown mob, was not determined, but the verdict of the jury was that he came to his death by hanging. Scores Deputy Sheriff. "The court calls your attention o the fact that Alachua County has but one jail, and that it was the duty of the deputy sheriff not to have placed this man in a jail at Newberry, to have to transported him, with all speed, to the common jail of Alachua County, and delivered him into the custody of the sheriff. Not Because He was a Negro. "It is not to be said that because 'The Wilson was a Negro that the tallest investigation should not be given. This court instructs you that it matters not his race or color, the law has been violated; constituted authority has been ignored and opposed, and it is your duty to sincerely, honestly and fearlessly make an effort, unless the guilty parties to justice. It has been well said that this government of ours is one that can protect the humblest citizen standing in the shadow of his little cot, as well as it can protect the wealthy in his castle of marble and cold. "The execution of Wilson was not a plain acceptance of the term; he was not executed by an enraged populace whose reason had become dethroned because of the helplessness of the offense, nor was it to avenge the honor of some innocent woman, but it was murder, as foul as ever perpetrated, and has reflected upon this county and 'commonwealth of Florida and has been condemned in great relief and mages of this country. If we as grand jurors, do not use their best efforts to determine who committed this disgraceful crime within the confines you shall be regarded as remiss in your duty and shall answer for this neglect in the last great day. Refers to Resolution. "My attention has been culled to a resolution passed by the people of Newberry, assembled in the Methodist Church of that city on January 28, condemning in no unmeasured terms this violation in their midst. They are to be commended, and I feel that you will have no difficulty in obtaining from those assembled at that meeting anything that may be known to them with reference to this homicide." HELD IN CHARGE OF FELONIOUS ASSAULT Harold Gloesgow, 23, a laborer of 2235 Seventh avenue, was arraigned in the Washington Heights Court, Sunday morning, before Magistrate Geo. W. Simpson, charged with felonious assault on Edward Dent, of 427 Lonox avenue. During an alteration at 121 West 133th street, the defendant is said to have drawn a pocket knife and, after stabbing Dent, ran north on Lonox avenue. He was pursued by Reserve Officers A. B. Matthews and W. Taylor, and was overtaken after a chase of four blocks, during which five shots were fired. Dent was taken to Harlem Hospital, where his wound was dresed.

Hold-up Man Must Serve Nine Years John Dyer Fails to Establish Alibi Before Appellate Division According to a decision of the Appellate Division just rendered, John Dyer, 8 West 129th street, must serve a sentence of imprisonment in State's Prison at hard labor for nine years, on conviction before Justice Koenig and a jury in General Sessions, for the crime of robbery committed on John F. Trainor, 133 East 119th street At the trial it was brought out that Trainor, a collector for Zalman and Co., a piano instalment house, entered the house 145 West 143rd street to collect an instalment from one of the tenants. While coming out of the house, he charged, Dyer and another man held him up in the hallway at the point of a pistol and forcibly took a watch and chain from his pocket. In support of this charge the evidence of Lawrence P. McCarthy, 1685 Park avenue, was produced to show that McCarthy and Trainor both had chased Dyer into the arms of a policeman after the commission of the crime. Dyer attempted to establish an alibi with the aid of Cornelius Henry, 222 West 141th street; Henry Jones, 26 West 129th street; Jeremiah Charles, 222 West 140th street, and Annie Bramble, his niece, residing with him at the 129th street address. The jury, however, after short deliberation, returned with a verdict, finding the defendant guilty of robbery in the first degree. Upon imposition of sentence Dyer appealed to the Appellate Division, but there his conviction was unanimously attformed.

In the General Hospital, Ferguson, a bullet through his right groin and the red streak of another across his chest, testifies between groans that Bishop fired first. HOYT'S MOTHER DEAD. Mr. John R.

A. HARRIS, Pres. H. D. STROTTER Sec. Stomach Troubles Are Due to Acidity Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief for Acid Indigestion. So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomachache and inability to retain food are in probably nine cases out of ten, simply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. Gas distends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes, known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess development or secretion of acid. To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless, a teemouth of Biurated Magnesia, a good and effective container of stomach, should be taken in a quarter glass of hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and is a good container of biomass and inexpensive remedy to use. An antacid, such as Bisurated Magnesia which can be obtained from any drugstreet in either power or tablet form enables the stomach to do its work properly without the aid of artificial digestens. Magnesia comes in several forms, so certain types of bisurated Magnesia, which is especially prepared for the above purpose. CANT SEE HEY? SERVES YOUR RIGHT!

Why hast Thou forsaken me." Master Jesus must come to the conclusion, that He really meant the contemplation of God within Himself, when He said, "Behold the kingdom of God is within you." Now let us go back to the time of Christ and His teachings. He was murdered by a Jewish mob. Why? Because He called Himself the Son of God. The Jews answered Him, "We have a law and by our law He ought to be." He said, "He himself is the Son of God." Jesus, the Master, was crucified because He taught that God lies within a man and that man and God is the Son of God. The Church churches today which pretend to understand and teach the Lord, dom of this great Master close their doors to any person who would dare to teach or profess that God and man's power is to help himself—there you have it—just think it over, and you'll see that the churches today, owing to ignorance, are in the same position towards the teachings of Christ as were the Jews, King Piliate, the Scri, a Eldera and Chief Priests who murdered Christ. Still, we are told that this same God commanded, "Thou shalt not kill." If this be true, why did He excite mankind whom He was trying to teach to sin no more, to commit such a�as, and dandy murder? Many will say that this was God's plan of saying it would be unlucky. Here we have the same old third-party theory. It would be a thing, possible to say that the death of Jesus was due to the vengeance of God, for we find in Hindu writings that the Buddhist Messiah was for a virgin. The Oriental myth about the Buddhist Messiah and the Christian view of the birth of Jesus are identical, the only difference being, one is an Oriental myth and the other Christian dogma. When the statement is made that Christ was a Master, it means, literally speaking, that Christ was Master of Himself, educated and trod the path, receiving the instruction of the Masters in India and the Orient. This is a well-known fact and is also a matter of record that Christ did belong to the ancient Wisdom Man of the East.

Fighter Meets Waterloo at Commonwealth PAGE FOUR World's Colored Bantam Champion Knocked Out by Harry Gordon Thrilling End to a Notable Career Came in the Eleventh Round When White Fighter Whips Over Sensational Right. Little Rash out he was looked upon as another George Dixon. Acclaimed not only as one of the best fighters of the present day but occupying a spot in the limelight envolved by many when he appeared in the first mixed bout at the Pioneer Athletic Club when the color ban was lifted, just a wee bit, Danny Edwards, the little fighter from California holding the title of world's bantamweight champion enjoyed a certain popularity which brought out thousands to the Commonwealth Sporting Club on Saturday night to see him meet his Waterloo at the hands of Harry Gordon, substituting, for Jack Sharkey against Edwards in the star bout of the evening. The months that followed brought with them added popularity and plenty money to the coffers of Edwards. Defeating Irish Johnny Curtain in the latter's home town, he was in great demand by the fight clubs and even though Curtain afterwards received questionable decisions over him this did not interfere with the plans of a manager who can give Paddy Mullins cards and spades when it comes to the handling of a fighter. `Alpha Really Did It` The punch which placed Edwards "hors de combat" flashed from the white fighter to the enm of the colored boy like lightening coming out of a clear sky. Clever until the fatal and fateful moment the crack little boy from the West held his own against his rugged opponent and was going along nicely although he received many clean punches, evading the most dangerous with the ability which has made him a card at the Commonwealth and the Pioneer. I hate to resort to that famous old slogan called "1 Told You So," but what can a fellow do when Alpha, champing at the bit, went out and kept her word by hanging a hard earned defeat on St. Christopher at Manhattan Casino on Monday night. The score at the end of the game read 28-24 in favor of the wearers of the blue and white, showing that it was no easy task for them to cop from the youngsters, but it was done just the same even though the whistle ending the game sounded like sweet music to the ears of the veterans who were battling hard to keep from again being shown up by the kids. For eleven rounds had these two little fighting machines patrolled and in the minds of those assembled there arose the usual doubt as to who would get the verdict at the conclusion of the contest. Mixing it for a moment in the eleventh with Gordon, Edwards gave his opponent the opportunity long sought by many of the other white boys here and taking advantage of the second in which Edwards forgot to guard himself the right went straight from the shoulder and met a receptive chin that sent Edward down with a trailing in the dust. The Alpha boys played a hard game and in spite of the fact that they were only up against a bunch of practically new players with the exception of one or two, were deserving of victory. Six Garcia for St. Christopher had about a million chances to make baskets but for some reason the sphere simply refused to enter the net and it became evident at one time that Six couldn't make a basket if he stood alone within a few inches of the goal. Her father, Jane, appeared to his feet, but he was a youngster whose body was simply responding to a mind which it had been accustomed to obey and which, though unconscious, sent the last faint call to the vanquished to rise and when he did at the count of nine it was only to be a target for everything the white boy hud to offer and helplessly the colored boy received the punches without being able to defend himself. Sledging down the ropes he went and as he came up still assimilating punches he was mercifully saved from further punishment as the referee supported and carried him to his corner. Feeling refreshed after hastily wiping out the defeat which will throw the two teams in a return game soon, both having won one, Alpha has decided to attempt to take Dr. Smythe's Titans into camp on Washington's Birthday night at the same place. A very poor house turned out on Monday night to witness the contest and from every indication it would seem that the Metropolitan Basketball Association is function at a time when everything is apparently dead in amateur basketball here. Well, the blame is where it should be and we hope the public will turn out to encourage the youngsters in the next game. The crowd rose as one in the excitement which prevailed as they realized that Gordon had accomplished something which no other fighter, even the much touted Johnny Curtain and Pancho Villa, had been able to do, and as the popular little Danny lay helpless on the floor an uproar seldom heard at the Commonwealth shook the building. Strange to relate, Edwards in defeat seem to have the sympathy of the majority of the white fans present and no unusual outburst greeted the victor. From the ring to his dressing room Edwards wended his way through a lane of sympathisers made up entirely of white people who applauded his gameness at a time when most fighters are satisfied to recline on the canvass and arise when certain the danger has been passed with the final teh of the time keeper. Flashes Whip Hornets The St. Marks Flashes took the sting out of the Spartan Hornets in their annual bitter tussle when the Catholic boys scored 52 points to 47 for their rivals. This feud was established last year when the Hornets refused to complete a game in which the Flashes tied the score in the last minute of play after fighting an uphill battle. With this in mind the Flashes set out to make short work of the Hornets, Satch, Harrigan and Nethrop said to that; while Perry, Gittens and Russell possessed the strongest sting. Brought here by George Moore, one of the most gentlemanly and energetic managers who ever looked out for the interests of a fighter. Edwards arrived in town with a reputation which he immediately sustained among colored fight fans by overwhelming Kid Rash at the 15th Infantry and from his showing when he knocked the great This Thursday, Feb. 8.

DOUGHERTY er Meets Water The Sportive Spotlight have had a few of the Kindly these term In Pittsburg I hope to make L As we have tried very hard to show the sporting public, out in Pittsburgh they nurture and support men who would be driven from the ranks of men with any redeeming qualities when it comes to being fair in matters of sport; and if they cannot be fair in sport, is it possible that they are fair in life's race in their dealings with their fellow men? We are reproducing the "fourteen points" as enumerated by "Cum" Posey for a game with his heavenly Loendi team. The Evening Mail the other day reproduced an account of the watch-grabbing affair at Manhattan Casino, showing that even the white brother is now "upon them." The reader, we hope, will particularly note that Posey has picked out the two dates on which they know the Commonwealth will be busy going through with contracts made weeks ago. Posey is fully aware of this as he reads all the colored newspapers—some for the praise, others to see how he is being shown up in his true light. Time after time they have announced these dates at the Commonwealth showing where the local team would be meeting the Vandals on February 22nd and the Celtics on March 4th. Posey has admitted his team to be a bonafide professional outfit, yet he tells the McMahon Brothers that he shall insist on intercollegiate rules. This is simply a trick to get out of playing the game. But this is where Posey shines as the world's leading comedian and basketball trickster. He suggests that Madden, Ballard and Huiswould name the referee. Madden was driven from basketball years ago and he could not today find three colored boys who would play under his management. The other day the "Little Napoleon" for whom we found a St. Helena after furnishing him with his Waterloo, expressed a desire to return to the game via managing the Commonwealth team and this raised such a laugh among the players they almost lost a game, suffering with cramps from the effect or Madden's desire. Ballard is the manager of a club over in New Jersey which has not functioned at all this season. When it did function it wasn't much as they have never been able to win from any team here in New York. Huiswould was the recipient of the wrath of Posey up to a few seasons ago and his suddenly deciding to let "Dutch" help to pick a referee is really suspicious. Were we in Huiswould's place we would insist on refereeing the game. But let us look at Posey's letter to the McMahon boys which he informed them he had sent to the same papers he a few weeks ago IGNORED. The epistle from the great "Cum" is appended below these new lines. He advises the McMahons that this is their first year in basketball so he can excuse them for many things, even associating with such a character as Romeo L. Dougherty, the same Dougherty who caught the "watch grabber" in the act at Manhattan Casino and told the world about it. They have learned, he claims, through various experiences, financially and otherwise, to studiously avoid us. Say, who wouldn't avoid a man who is constantly on guard to tell the public of the doings of those who would bring disgrace to a game which we all enjoyed for many years? Is it not a fact that a criminal at all times tries to avoid the police? St. Christopher, Alpha, Spartan, Borough, Titan and all the other clubs in the cast have been functioning longer than Loendi, but their dealings are open and above board and they do not have to avoid us. Financially we have never had any dealings with Posey except to place his gangsters on the door at a basketball game to see that he got his pound of flesh, which, by the way, he is now exacting from the Commonwealth. He tells the McMahons they have shown a tendency to be fair in their dealings with Loendi. Too bad we cannot say the same of the Pittsburgh bunch. We are going to give Posey a little information at the end of the present basketball season that will prove to the world that we play the game better off the court than "Cum" can play it on the court and he is going to be surprised and chagrined. Here's his letter and the "fourteen pointa": February 9, 1923. Mr. J. McMahon, Mgr. Commonwealth Basketball Club, New York City. Dear Slr: As I stated before, the Loendi management, composed of R. L. Dougherty, the Business Manager, and myself, bear no ill-will toward yourself and brother or the Commonwealth basketball players. They, the players, you and I, are in the game now for what we can get out of it, legitimately. You have carried our dealings to the newspapers which I do not consider quite fair, especially when the dealings are done with unscrupulous reporters. However, this is your first year in basketball. You, or your representative, sought to cripple Loendi's schedule by writing letters to such clubs as Erie and Coffey Club. These letters were not of the kind to inspire friendship between Loendi and Commonwealth, but that also has been excused due to your first year in basketball. While it is hard to excuse your association, of course in a public way, with Romeo Dougherty, whom the Loendi Club has learned through various experiences, financially and otherwise, to studiously avoid, we again attribute this to your first year in basketball. You have shown a tendency to be fair with Loendi In any proposition which would include a basketball game between Loendi and Commonwealth. After careful consideration and consultation with those in favor of a game between Loendi and Commonwealth and those opposed to Loendi and Commonwealth game, this decision has been reached and I think it fair: 1. That Commonwealth Basketball Club play in Pittsburgh Wednesday, February 21, 1923, for 35 per cent of gross gate receipts. 2. That Loendi Basketball Club play in New York Sunday, March 4 for 40 per cent of gross gate receipts. 3. The referee in Pittsburgh shall be picked from Pittsburgh Referee's Association, the leading association of its kind in basketball, by any man you name in Pittsburgh. I would suggest Mr. Ira Lewis, Rev, Shelton Bishop or Dr. A. R. Taylor to name the official, an official who has refereed Pitt or W. & J. games. 5. The referee in New York shall be picked by Will Madden, Percy Ballard, Manager of Durbar Basketball Club, and Hulswood. This official must be one who has officiated at least twice for such colleges as Columbia, City College of New York, New York University. 6. The games shall be played under the existing intercollegiate rules which are the rules played by St. C., Spartan, Loendi and the rules which the Commonwealth boys have played all their life. 7. Not over 60 free admissions shall be allowed in Pittsburgh and New York, these 60 to include hall attaches, officials, preliminary teams, timers, scorers, advertisers, home players, ushers, etc. One entrance to be used to hall. 8. Visiting team shall be allowed 12 free admissions to include players, scorers, timers, etc. 9. All free admissions with or without complimentary tickets over the 60 agreed upon shall be charged to the home club as are paid admissions. 10. That a table be provided at Pittsburgh and New York for timers and scorers which is at least ten yards from the substitutes of each club, and the newspaper writers or their representatives. 11. That Loendi and Commonwealth agree to have their players on the court at Pittsburgh and New York not later than 9:15 P. M., the club failing to appear by this time forfeiting $25.00. This clause is necessary on account of the perilatent tactics of visiting race clubs to Pittsburgh who fail to appear at scheduled time. 12. That Loendi and Commonwealth meet during the 1923-24 season in two games, the first not earlier than January 24. 13. Should Loendi win the two games of the 1922-23 season they shall receive the same percentage, 40 percent, the 1923-24 season and the first game shall be in Pittsburgh. Should Loendi and Commonwealth each win a game in 1922-23, the same percentage shall prevail next season with the first game in Pittsburgh. 14. Should Commonwealth win two games in the 1922-23 season then Commonwealth shall receive 40 percent the 1923-24 season and Loendi 35 percent and the first game.shall be played in New York. I have outlined fourteen conditions which should cover everything: the percentages are in keeping with the Championship. Should you win this season than you are entitled to his percentage next season. Asw Mr. J. McMahon. OF SPORT HIGHERTY terloo at Con have had our dealings laid before the publo I will give this letter to a few of the papers. Kindly notify me by telegram or special as to the acceptance of these terms and let me know the name of the official you have selected in Pittsburgh and the list of Intercollegiate officials you have in the east. I hope these games go through before capacity audiences and tend to make Loendi-Commonwealth games annual affairs. As the reader can see by glancing at the above, Possey is more concerned about Dougherty than he is about meeting the Commonwealth players. They have struck fear into his heart and he rambles all around instead of confining himself to the issues in arranging a game. Only the McMahon Brothers would accept the terms enumerated by him for a game and it is no secret that the players resent his attitude and if left to themselves would dismiss Possey and his gang from their minds until such time as he can come to his senses. What worrles the Pittsburgher is that Dougherty is the only one who dares beard him. As long as we are pushing a pen on one of these sundown papers he is going to have us to reckon with until such time as he can show that he has improved with the passing of the years instead of trying to get blood out of the proverbial turnip. The Commonwealth Club holds the championship of the East. Loendi holds the western championship and until such time as they meet that stuff of world's champion will only be accepted by those with child-like minds. Yes, slr, Loendi would do well to avoid us when they come here and try to rob games from cur boys by grabbing the timekeeper's watch. The schools and churches of America are supposed to inculcate a spirit of fairness and respect for the "other fellows" feelings. Yet, gentle reader, you have seen for yourself where this Cum Posey is telling us "this decision has been reached and I think it fair." If you have followed basketball read and be amazed at the depths to which some people will go. Then do not forget that "due to your first year in basketball" stuff he is pulling. Yes, the McMahons managed the Lincoln Giants for years when they appeared at Olympic Field every Sunday.

Where once the casino had become something of which Harlem hardly paid any notice, the place is now full of interest to boxing, basketball and other forms of amusements, these promoters going so far as to announce a dog show for the near future. Last Sunday night another fine house turned out to see the crack Commonwealth team defeat Ansonia Whirlwinds from Connecticut by the score of 33-30, and on Monday night the largest basketball crowd out to witness the holiday games wended its way to the Commonwealth Casino to see the local team defeat the Mount Vernon Five by the score of 33-27. Scores left the casino vowing that these colored boys wearing the colors of Jess and Rod McMahon are the real zirls, thrills and sensations now being furnished by our boys regularly. In the preliminary game the Deers went down to defeat at the hands of the Pryor Sisters, the white girls getting an early lead which the colored girls threatened at one time to overcome but which they fell by the wayside doing and being nosed out by one point, the final score being 10-9.

This Friday night promises to be a big one, as the "Liza" company bought over sixty-three seats and will give Florence Mills the big welcome. "Fidgety-Fidge."

Instead of being discouraged by the defeat of Danny Edwards who has been a regular performer at the Commonwealth Club, the McMahons announce for the coming Saturday night a set of mixed bouts that should pack the casino early. Panama Joe Gans, who needs no introduction at this time as he has a reputation of which he can very well feel proud, will top the bill when he faces Jimmie O'Gatty, a white boy of no mean ability.

Great Emotional Drama to Be Shown at the Franklin Theatre Thursday and Friday Lovers of genuine heart appealing screen entertainment will find the picture for which they have long been searching at the Franklin Theatre on Thursday and Friday when "Is a Mother to Blame?" starts a limited engagement of two days at the popular photoplay house. The story deals with a mother who gives her child away in order that it may not die from hunger and privation in its infancy, then in after life finds that there is an empty space in her heart which only her little daughter can all. Truth is indeed stranger thaniction, according to the enterprising writers of this picture, for through all the years that mother and child have been separated, there has been a strange Fate at work bringing their paths closer and closer together. At last after a series of exciting and dramatic happenings, the two are once more reunited. The various roles call for acting of great power, and the cast which was assembled by the producers of "Is a Mother to Blame?" is extremely efficient and well chosen. This picture, while strong in dramatic suspense, is handled with great deligacy, and there is nothing in the five parts in which it is presented which can offend the most straight faced of movie devotees. St. Christopher Preparing Boys Getting Ready for Big Game With Morehouse College at New Star Casino, Feb. 22 The boys of the St. Christopher Club of St. Phillip's Parish are busy getting ready for their big game with the players from Morehouse College coming here under coach Harvey. Regardless of the outcome of previous games, St. Christopher looks forward to the coming of Morehouse with a great deal of interest as the Southerners have been having things their own way in the south and travels with the college championship. To wrest the honors from Morehouse at this time would give the St. Christopher youngsters the inspiration needed to keep them in the form to go through with their other games this season.

Garvey's Klan Parley Re by Imperial Gian Garvey's Klan Parley Revealed by Imperial Giant of Ku Klux him the Klan was much more in favor of the Negro as an American citizen than of the foreign white element. Garvey claimed ignorance of the Klan's widely advertised intentions towards the race and stated the conversation was for the purpose of placing him in a better This company began business less than two years ago in a basement room with a force of one stenographer and the organizer. Today it owns and occupies its office building, 2289 Seventh avenue, where all of its clerical work is done, and operates a factory covering twelve thousand square feet in Long Island City, in the finest manufacturing district in the world. It does its own recording, plating, pressing and printing, and employs forty people, with a combined payroll of over one thousand dollars per week. The report showed the gross income of the company for the year was over a quarter of a million dollars. Despite the serious depression during last year it showed a steady increase in sales for all three of its products—records, needles, and Swanolas. During the year the company paid to colored singers and musicians over $5,000 for records Clarke, Subpoenaed From Atlanta, Tells U. S. Grand Jury of U. N. I. A. Head's Visit Federal Case Against Black Star Line Head Postponed to Feb. 26 Edward Young Clarke, Imperial Giant of the Ku Klux Klan, appeared before the Federal Grand Jury here yesterday, having been subpoenaed from Atlanta ten days ago in connection with the proceedings of the Government against Marcus Garvey, president of the defunct "Block Star Line" and the Negro Factories Corporation. Clarke was examined by Assistant United States Attorney Mattuck on Garvey's visit to Clarke in Atlanta last June, when the latter was Acting Imperial Wizard of the Klan. After the visit Garvey denied his purpose was to affect an alliance with the Klan. The investigation of Garvey's affairs had disclosed that the conference was in connection with Garvey's Black Star Steamship Line and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which he is President General. After appearing before the Grand Jury, Clarke promised to send to Mr. Mattuck any papers he might have in Atlanta that would throw light on Garvey's visit. Garvey's trial on an indictment charging him with having used the mails to defraud investors in stock of the Black Star Line, scheduled to begin yesterday, was postponed until Feb. 26. After Garvey returned from Atlanta he addressed a crowd of his follower, in Harlem and advised them not to waste their time fighting the Klan, as it called for an America for the white man, but to go back to Africa, the land of the black man. Garvey was hotly dismayed in press and pulpit and was quickly put on the defence. "Knowing the power and influence and intention of the Klan, I interviewed the executive for the purpose of getting them, if possible, to adopt a different attitude toward the race I represent, and thus prevent a repetition in many ways of what happened during the days of reconstruction," was the way he explained his conference. Again in August Garvey denied that there was any relation between the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Klan. At that time he said he called with Dr. Evans because Clarke in Atlanta; and Clarke told THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News THE CIRCULATION OF Has Increased 2000 in the last four weeks THERE'S A REASON ON SALE EVERYWHERE Subscription Rate, $1.50 per Year Excursion Rates to S.

(Special)—The securing of an excursion rate to this city from every section of the United States on account of the Sunday School Congress which meets June 13 to 18, was announced at the Congress Headquarters, this city, today, by the chairman of the local Congress Forces, Iz.

At the same time James L. Beavers, Chief of Police in Atlanta, who was running for Mayor, quoted Clarke as saying in an interview that the effected alliance had spread dissension in the ranks of the Klan. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WED., FEBRUARY 14, 1923 Five years ago a domestic; today the president of allied corporations assessed at $1,890,000 and all accomplished not by a stroke of luck but by work — that hard grinding monotonous, nerve destroying work, day in and day out, that saps the courage and takes the starch out of all but the fittest. And the one who has done this is a Negro! It sounds like a fairy tale; it has all the inspiration of a fairy tale, nevertheless, there is the evidence of solid achievement—evidence that all may see and touch. One of the Finest In This City On Seventh Avenue between 137th and 138th Streets one may see two massive electric flash signs that would be a credit to any other section of the city. These signs announce the two Renaissance Buildings, Theatre and Casino. The former which was completed in January, 1921 at a cost of $250,000 dollars and accommodates 950 persons is the equal if not in size, at least in finish, appearance and the quality of its entertainment to any other in Harlem. The latter, which was completed in January of this year at a cost of a quarter of a million dollars is one of the finest in New York City and was designed by one of the nation's leading architects. As in the case of the theatre there are certainly larger casinos but it is very much to be doubted whether there is another public ball-room in this city that surpasses it in beauty. It is probably the finest building of its kind ever constructed by Negroes. Thanks 'to the efforts of this Negro, who is still young—he is but thirty-nine—Harlemites and others have an auditorium and a ballroom capable of holding any dance or convention that the race is likely to have—a surrounding into which they could invite the highest in the land and be proud of it. In 1917 this Negro, like many other Negroes of genius and ambition today, was em- played as a butter. His soul was too big for the job, and his ambition finally forced him out into business for himself. He formed a house and window cleaning company which was incorporated at $5,000. Making a success of this he increased the capitalization to $50,000, launched into real estate and bought two six-story elevator apartment buildings. With hard, persistent, intelligent effort this venture was also crowned with success and four additional six-story buildings were bought, the whole business being then assessed at $700,000. Source of His Inspiration. This Negro, as was said, worked as a domestic. Contact with Wilton Lackaye, the famous dramatic actor and Morris Gest, the theatrical magnate both of whom he worked for had awakened in him the desire to do for his people what these gentlemen were doing for theirs. He planned a theatre to be owned and operated by colored people. After strenuous effort this dream became also a reality, and he had the pleasure of seeing thousands of his race flocking to his theatre nightly. Unforeseen difficulties now arrose. There was a vacant lot adjoining and a rival theatrical concern seeing the success of the Renaissance made bids for it. He was thus compelled to buy it, as he says through "superhuman efforts." The empty lot meant another building and in June of last year the erection of the Casino was begun. Colored investors. It must be said as the statement of a fact that all this was accomplished with little encouragement from the colored people. Heavy credits at heavy costs had to be noated. "During this period of expansion and development," says this man: "Jet it be said truthfully that a very small percentage of capital was raised through the medium of stock sales, so small as to be rather insignificant as to the total sum of funds necessary." At the time colored investors were being carried away with the glittering promises of the Black Star Line, the Negro Factories Corporation, and other allied interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, he says. William H. Roach, that is his name—is a self-made man. Starting out into the world at the age of sixteen he has worked as laborer, sailor, butler and cook. He studied hard during his spare moments and took private lessons. His employment as a butler brought him into close contact with many leading white men, and he was stimulated by that association to make a man of himself. "I may mention," he says "as a counseling cheer to present day domestics that I owe great thanks to many of those whom I worked for as servant. It was from them that I gathered inspiration and shaped my thoughts to things noble." It was through this association, also, that Mr. Roach came into touch with some of the leading white business men of the city and was thus enabled to get most of the credit necessary for his enterprises. There are some five hundred small stockholders and investors. Now, he says, he is anxious that the business should be entirely in possession of colored people and free from white creditors, who have found the investment a very profitable one. Pass by the Renaissance Buildings, walk into the elegant casino, with its richly carpeted stairs; its splendid floor, boxes and loges, its elegant, artistic amplitude, its beautiful Pompeian decoration, note the busy department store and the offices beneaut and you will feel that here is a substantial accomplishment, something solid and enduring. You will also conclude that here is a man who has shown that he merits the unstinted moral and financial support of the race and the community. Supreme Vice-Chancellor Knights of Pythias to Visit Lodges and Courts The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Eastern and Western Hemispheres, have had their attention called quite frequently of late to the irregularities and publicity of the litigations over the misappropriations of funds, which are occurring in the ranks or the Knights of Pythias, of N. A., S. A., E., A, & A., in New York State, Virginia, Illinois and Kansas Grand Jurisdictions. Founder's Day at Wilberforce To Be Celebrated February 24 For some unknown reason these articles do not make the proper distinction between the two branches of the Orders, while the laymen, in their ignorance of these facts, are criticising all Knights of Pythias. The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of the E. W. H. deems this omission unfair to them. On the other hand, wherever we see an opportunity to save the name of the Order from either moral or fraternal disgrace, we have striven to do so, and at times at a financial sacrifice. To this and Supreme Chancellor W. Ashle Hawkins of Baltimore has ordered Supreme Vice Chancellor Sir W. H. Willis of New York, and Supreme Lodge Officers in other jurisdictions to give the matter their personal attention, by visit- Founder's Day at W To Be Cele WILBERFORCE, O., Feb. 13.—Founders' Day, bringing anew to the mind all the glorious history, inspiring traditions and. great achievements of Wilberforce University, will be celebrated at that institution on the 24th of February. A little more than a year ago the disastrous fire which destroyed Shorter Hall, left Wilberforce stunned and stricken, but not dismayed. Even before the smoke had lifted or the charred embers had ceased to glow, all—officials, teachers, students, alumni and friends—went to work to help repair the loss and so vigorously have the forces pushed forward that in the building program more than one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars have been raised and expended on OF ing each Lodge and Court of Cananthe, and to inform them fully so that neither now nor any other time in the life of the Order K. of P. of the E. W. H. will a member or any one doing business with the Order have cause to charge us with obligations of the Order. In no state or city in the United States is there a law suit or one just claim against us unpaid, or accusation against any officer for the misappropriation of funds. We feel it is unfortunate that an organization calling themselves Knights of Pythias should be placed in the predicament that when news articles appear reflecting on our integrity and Knightly honor, they do not give the Order its proper designation. To those who do know, it is not needed, but for the public it is necessary. Wilberforce brated February 24 that vast work. But the work is not complete, and what with the building needs, and the regular current expenses, the demands are more pressing than ever. The root has been laid over the whole main portion of the New James A. Shorter Hall, and on the last day of January those mammoth steel girders that are to uphold the roof of the great auditorium, were set in place so that within the next few days the whole structure will be under roof and safe from the ravages of bad weather. Graduates and friends of the institution have been invited to contribute to the building fund. Items of Social Interest "Y" Has Clubs for Girls of All Ages Who Are Strangers in the City The proper kind of club organization is a fine thing for young people. Not only fine, but necessary for character building and the broadening and developing of the minds and souls of young folks. The contact of young minds in wkpk and play rubs off the rough edges of selfishness and conceit; teaches girls the self-restraint that makes it possible for similar personalities to associate harmoniously; and gives, above all things, that tolerance for the other fellows' point of view, without which, a happy and successful life is impossible. These things, aside from the more obvious advantages give pleasure and intellectual stimulation.

You may also skate and swim, frolic in the gym, hike and dance. There is a DeauArts meeting every Thursday night at There is still another group of clubs, the Calendar Clubs, composed of adult members of the "X." Many lonely people find companionship in these clubs, also, but better than what the members get is what they do for this branch. The members of this branch, for the most part, did enough to feel the urge to help, helping others and they help, in a large measure, to carry on the work of this Branch. When the women of the Calendar Clubs work for Budget Week, when they strive to get new members when they give time, to help, to the activities of this Branch, they are doing it that the girls of Harlem may have a chance for professional development, for a normal and healthy outlet for youthful spirits and energy. And they are doing it so that the community of Harlem may have the advantage of such service as this Branch gives. We are proud of our clubs and our constant endeavor is to increase their usefulness.

C, Feb. 10.—Because "Mr. Willie" never failed him when he needed advice or help, William James McAlister, of Fayetteville, 94 years old, an ex-servant, who died early to-day, made William R. Fulter, of New York, formerly general counsel of the American Tobacco Company, sole heir and beneficiary of his estate, consisting of a small cabin and its furnishings, it was learned when McAlister's will was found. The old colored man's death was caused by burns suffered when he fell into an open fireplace. "My wife, now deceased, belonged to his (Mr. Fuller's) father and mother," read McAlister's will, "and it was my pleasure to be near the Fuller family after the war, bringing an intimacy between me and Mr. Willie, then a small boy. When I needed advice, Mr. Willie never failed me. He may not need my little home, I pray, but he will know better what to do with it than I, and in this way I want to show my appreciation for what he has done for me," One Eyed Argus The old adage, "You never know what's in a nut until it's cracked," applies here. Of course, some are found to be rotten and are thrown aside. Does that hit you, Matt? Listen. Mr. June Bug, you can buzz around the flowers in June, and if you will not try to play the part of "a pumpkin wizard," usher you to a vacant seat on the moon for another winter. P. S. Better tell the madam that you won't be home for dinner. Say, Big-Timers from Harlem! Remember the One Eyed Argus kept his eye on Williamsbridge last Monday afternoon. It is safe to predict that we may have some rush money before our next issue. Blondes, blondes and yet more blondes! It must be contagious. We say, so many blondes walking the Avenue the other day that we thought they were manufacturing them and turning them out one by one a little turner up the street. George, dear, one of the popular members of the Arista Society treated us to quite an exhibition recently. English to death! Did you see the cane he was so wild with? And are my kids wearing me? Did I hear someone say something about white spats? Where was the inseparable Clarence? We thought the Blue Belts and Deers were going to give us an exhibition of basketball, as it should be played, and we were looking forward to see the Deers emerge and thought a boxing bout would be more exciting. It certainly was more exciting, we agree with you there. According to your actions at the College of T. M. U. Z. A., we see that you are not living up to your New Year's resolution. We would like to hear from the once popular Columbia Cubs. Except for occasional basketball games, we are having no interest of the lightnight. Why don't you pull off one of your famous parties or dances? HOWARDITES, ATTENTION !!!

Smith then ran to an open window and leaped down the airshaft, being instantly killed. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WED., FEBRUARY 14, 1923 NEW YORKER MAKING course, at such prices they are go ing rapidly. Leader Robert/ S. GOOD IN CAPITAL VICTOR R. Daly, Former Urban League Secretary, In Real Estate Business. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13.—Demand for colored homes in the colored section here is far below the available supply, Victor R. Daily, colored real estate broker, reports. The situation is aggravated, the states, by the threatened closing of the alleys for dwelling purposes. Recently the following deals, totaling $66,750, were closed in the daily office: Benjamin Brotman sold a sixroom brick dwelling, 116 Thomas street northwest, to John H. Morgan. Abner McMurtry sold his nineroom home at 1456 Corcoran street to Rev. William J. Tyler for a residence. James W. Johnson, local investor, sold the eight-room premises at 1221 S street northwest to Abner McMurtry. Cooperating with the firm of Briggs & Mooney, Bessie Fenton sold her eight-room home at 460 O street northwest to Benjamin Goodwin and William T. Reeder. The building will be held as an investment. Sergt. John Johnson, Fort Myer, bought the six-room brick residence of Mayne F. Henderson at 2009 11th street northwest. William G. Tindell, Quantico, Va., bought the premises at 919 Florida avenue northwest as an investment. This sale was made jointly with the office of Caywood Bros. & Garrett, Inc. Marion A. Corbitt sold her eight-room brick residence at 2821 11th street northwest to M. E. Henderson. John N. Sampsell sold his home at 1331 Florida avenue northwest to K. D.

Estridge Plays Comedian Gives a Correct Imitation of "The Mayor of Jimtown" When He Whipped Alex Gibbons That Larry Estridge is in firm possession of the number of one Alex (kid) Gibbons was shown to the satisfaction of a fair sized crowd at the 15th Infantry Armory last week. Estridge whipped Gibbons before and many expected Alex to come back and wipe out the defeat in a convincing manner. But there was nothing of the sort, the kid simply returning and taking as good if not a better beating than he did before. When Estridge woke up to the realization that he had Gibbons' number safely tucked away, he started to give the crowd a correct imitation of Flournoy Miller in Shuffle Along and that the youngster played "The Mayor of Jimtown" to perfection there isn't the least doubt as the crowd applauded vociferously. Using his much longer reach to good advantage, Estridge would place his left on the kid's head and keep him away and every time he got ready he slammed him. To us Larry won every round and there wasn't a chance for an argument as to the winner. Gee it was easy for the judges. Estridge has the jump on Gibbons and that's that.

Be Careful What You Wash Your Child's Hair With If you want to keep your child's hair in good condition, care for what you wash it with. Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much tree alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. salisified coconut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than anything that can cause use for shampooing as this cannot be properly squirrel. Simply put two or three teaspoonful of Muslified in a cup or glass with a little warm water, then moisten the hair with water and rub the Muslified in. It will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleans the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out his hair to remove every particle of dust, dirt, mud and fur excess oil. The hair dries quickly evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get. Mulsified coconut oil shampoo at any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces will last everyone in the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. TEACHING THE FAMOUS Louisine System MME.

February 14, 1923 "JERSEY JUSTICE" AGAIN "Jersey Justice," which suffered a serious setback on account of the Hall-Mills murder mystery, seems now to be working in perfect order. Following enaminations both by physicians employed by attorneys for William Battle, convicted a few weeks ago of the brutal murder of Mrs. Brigham in Orange and by physicians employed by the State of New Jersey, both of whom declared Battle insane, Judge Stickel, it seems, has now declared the young man sane. This leaves us to wonder why it was necessary to have Battle submit to a sanity test in the first place. "Jersey Justice," which suffered a serious setback on account of the Hall-Mills murder mystery, seems now to be working in perfect order. Following examinations both by physicians employed by attorneys for William Battle, convicted a few weeks ago of the brutal murder of Mrs. Brigham in Orange, and by physicians employed by the State of New Jersey, both of whom declared Battle insane, Judge Suckel, it seems, has now declared the young man sane. This leaves us to wonder why it was necessary to have Battle submit to a sanity test in the first place. JEWS AND NEGROES It is very pleasing to us to note that the colored press in particular and the colored public in general has not joined Henry Ford and others in his denunciation of the Jews. Much may be gained by the existence of friendly relations between these two races. Jewish people in America constitute the most liberal-minded element of our entire population. They alone are responsible for the progress made by workers in industrial and other fields of devorer. In the factories, in the fields, in the Government service, wherever they are found, they make for progress, higher wages, better living conditions and better educational facilities. Though actuated by selfish motives, he does not object to others who work along side of him, sharing in the benefits derived. He is a born organizer. He is a fair fighter. He is not afraid of defeat. He is a good sport. He likes to see the best man win. He is hated and persecuted because of his ability to think and to do things. Frank Harris, editor of Pearson's Magazine say that we hate those whom we have wronged. The Jew has been wronged all over the world. Those who have wronged him most, hate him most.

WE WIN EITHER WAY WRITING in the February issue of Current History, Eric D. Walrond says that "the Negro is at the crossroads of American life. He is, probably more than any other group within our borders, the most vigorously 'led.'" Walrond would not have missed the mark very far if he had said that we are the most damnably led group in America; for with all of our leaders, all of our organizations, all of our churches, schools and colleges, the fight for life and liberty grows harder from year to year. So much so that the young Negro has begun to believe that he is held back by this army of leaders. HE HAS BEGUN to ask if leadership consists in holding a renumerative political job or in the rendering of service to his own kind. AND, HIS VOICE is beginning to be heard for Dr. Kelly Miller, a hitherto "old line" leader, seemingly, caught the inspiration and proposes Negro Sanhedrin, or conference of all of the leader of the race. WHAT IS MORE, it is Dr. Miller's idea to include in this conference leaders and organizations representing every phase of Negro life in the country. Right wings, left wings, high brows, low brows, N. A. A. C. P. followers, A. B. B. followers, Friend of Negro Freedom, U. N. I.

WRITING in the February issue of Current History, Eric D. Walrond says that "the Negro is at the crossroads of American life. He is, probably more than any other group within our borders, the most vigorously 'led.'" Walrond would not have missed the mark very far if he had said that we are the most damnably led group in America; for with all of our leaders, all of our organizations, all of our churches, schools and colleges, our fight for life and liberty grows harder from year to year. So much so that the young Negro has begun to believe that he is held back by this army of leaders. HE HAS BEGUN to ask if leadership consists in holding a numerative political job or in the rendering of service to his own kind. AND, HIS VOICE is beginning to be heard for Dr. Kelly Miller, a hitherto "old line" leader, has seemingly, caught the inspiration and proposes a Negro Sanhedrin, or conference of all of the leaders of the race. WHAT IS MORE, it is Dr. Miller's idea to include in this conference leaders and organizations representing every phase of Negro life in the country, Right wings, left wings, high brows, low brows N.

EXPRESSED BY CONTEMPORARIES TRAITORS IN THE "FRONT RANKS." A traitor is a bad asset to an army or race in matter where he is located. Anywhere in the rank he is a menace to be reckoned with and weeded out of the earliest possible moment. But what of the traitor in the "front ranks"? We do not need magnifying glasses to discover that the Negro people of this country are being handicapped and held backward by persons in the front ranks, posing as leaders, but who have no the interests of the race at heart. Being in the present positions through their own manipulation and not occupying positions of honor accorded them by those whom they are supposed to represent, is all the more difficult to dislodge them. In other words, how is the race to rid itself of self-impacted leaders who are constantly betraying A traitor is a bad asset to an army or race no matter where he is located. "Anywhere in the ranks he is a menace to be reckoned with and weeded out at the earliest possible moment. But what of the traitor in the "front ranks"?

In other words, how is the race rigid itself of self-imposed leaders who are constantly betraying its interests? The question can best be answered negatively. While it may be easy for the colored people to discern these false leaders in the eyes of the white people who recognize them purely and simply because they can be used as "catawpa" for the white people whom they serve, yet it is possible that the colored people to do much to save the race from these points by using their common of their own race, not a part of the time but all the time. Race traitors are not only a handicap and a menace from any angle, but a disgust and weakness of the soul as well. In the first place, being lined up as the leaders of the race, they are in a strategic position. It is easy through them for the enemy to know in advance every tactic the race may plan to use for its own protection and advancement. In the next place, these frontline traitors are taking the place of men and women, who if given the opportunity would at least have the courage to defend the conduct of their own people and sympathize with them in their gropings for the light, even though they were not strong and courageous enough to own both weak and have courage of their convictions at all times. The great mass of humanity the world over is striking out for new unselfish leadership and the Negro race should be no exception in any way. So long as individuals are willing to belittle the efforts of their own people and to mock and deride them for the sake of winning the favor of stronger people, the bulk of the race will never get anywhere. HOW LONG, O LORD, HOW LONG? A TEXAS LYNCHING (New York World.) From Waco, Tex., comes the news of the confession of a mulatto under arrest to the murder of five persons there during the last two years. Other murders are expected to be cleared by his admissions. Naturally the Sheriff, as he should, fearing mob violence, took extraordinary measures for the protection of the County Jail.

So the old lynching rule, in force in many parts of the South, works out as so often before. In the heat of excitement, in the lust of bloodshed, a mob captures and burns at the stake a Negro on the suspicion merely that he had committed a murder. The lynchers had no time to wait for evidence, least of all for a legal trial, so they "took the law into their own hands." And the sequel is that a year later another Negro confesses that he committed the murder for which the first one was burned at the stake.

If the souls of Pushkin of Russia, Samuel Taylor Coleridge of England, Alexander pere and Alexander Dumas fils of France, with their genius and character, were to be reincarnated in the body of an American Negro, they would be compelled to ride in a Jim Crow car in the South and their sons could not lodge in the freshman dormitory at Harvard.

LYNCHINGS To the Editor of the Amsterdam News: Perhaps the brilliant argument of our most illustrious Senator, Mr. Overman, "that no law-abiding Negro ever is molested in the South" was partly responsible for the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Assuming that to be true—the molestations and lynchings even of law-breakers by mobs in whom no judicial power has been vested, cannot for long be counteranced by the people of this country. The crimes committed against the colored race in this country are known throughout the four quarters of the globe. Whatever the fifth of accusations placed against the person of a lynching, Negro, who often times is innocent of any crime, the stench remains with the persecutors long after his body has decayed.

CERTAIN great souls are like the peaks of a mountain range: It is necessary to recede from the mass in order to determine those that are loftiest. Such a procedure is necessary in estimating the real worth of Frederick Douglass. Douglass was born in Tuckahoe, Md., on Feb. 14. height as Washington. Both were emancipators of this nation; the one from British slavery: the other from a menace equally great—Southern slavery. Lincoln came from the humblest white stock; Washington from the best. Lincoln had to travel an immense distance to reach the spot from which Washington started. Hence Lincoln, judged by the quotation given above, is greater, in the same way as the spinner who starts in the rear of the others and reaches the goal at the same time as they, is the best man. Frederick Douglass "Judge me not by the he but by the depth from CERTAIN great souls are certain range: It is nec mass in order to deter Such a procedure is necessary of Frederick Douglass. Douglass was born in T height as Washington. Both nation; the one from British menace equally great—South from the humblest white ste best. Lincoln had to travel as the spot from which Washings judged by the quotation give same way as the sprinter wh others and reaches the goal a the best man. What of Douglass? Lincoln's struggle to get an education, difficult as it was is almost nothing as compared with Douglas. The stop that Douglass took from a condition akin to that of the beasts or the field to the first faint beginnings of freedom when he ran away is perhaps more difficult than that taken by Lincoln in his entire journey from the cabin to the White House. Lincoln was born free, and white; his only handicap was poverty. Against Douglas was arrayed the entire government of the Southern State. They would have used all their armed forces to keep him his place" if necessary. FEATURE Author of "From Superman to Man." about 106 years ago, a slave among a free white population, which, as he says, were "of the lowest order, indolent and drunken to a proverb." From the depths of the depths! These poor whites despised and hated him as they only can. Later he towered over every man of them, as Mt. Everest over the foot-hills at its base. Some three years ago Douglass was nominated for the Hall of Fame on University Heights. He was not elected. It is not our purpose to question the decision here: we merely wish to get away from the mountain range in order to get the truer perspective of him. * * * The greatest white man that this nation has produced is by popular estimation, Abraham Lincoln. Perhaps the next is George Washington. Lincoln reached the same were emancipators of this slavery: the other from a eastern slavery. Lincoln came stock; Washington from the inn immense distance to reach Boston started. Hence Lincoln, then above, is greater, in the to starts in the rear of the at the same time as they, is same honesty of purpose as Lincoln, the same love for his fellow-men. A man of the most exquisite sensibilities he tasted slavery to its bitterest dregs, and when he spoke or wrote, he stirred the deepest emotions of the human heart as only such a one could. Add to Douglass' record the height he attained after he had gained his liberty and at a time when it is incomparably hard to be a Negro than now. With his genius and tremendous energy there, was no need to mention he might not have been a slave, possible to have scarcely the towering walt of possession. At no time of his lifetime. tural opportunities of Lincoln or man an inferior white man. Even with the great ones of Europe cager to do him homage he was, like Booker T. Washington, open to the gratuitous insults of the meanest "cracker." Perhaps the most famous, most inspiring book ever written about great man is Plutarch's "Lives of Illustrious Men." There is, we venture to say, not a single figure within these immortal pages—Caesar. Anthony, Fabrus, who had to overcome anything near the natural handicaps Douglass had. Get the modest autobiography of Douglass, and if there is a spark of aspiration you will be quickened by as an oxirx, for then you will be reading one of the greatest books in the world—a hook written in the sweat of a great man's soul. Read of the infinite difficulties he encountered in acquiring the merest rudiments of reading; read how his mistress would snatch away with fury all printed matter from his hands for said his master "if you teach that nigger how to read there will be no keeping him. It will forever unit him to be a slave." Read how he taught himself to write by copying the letters of the alphabet as they were used to mark parts of the ships being built in the yards in which he worked, or how he would challenge the same letters, and thus learn their names; read how the brutal Covey, whose business it was to break in young and spirited Negroes, as a trainer does horses, attempted to break him in, and was himself broken; and how he finally funded and of the great fund of knowledge he acquired after the period of life at which others leave college. Read also of the great heights to which he rose helping with his great eloquence and power to crush the monster that would have crushed him. Read all of these facts, weigh them with the lives of other great Americans, and if you are a Negro you will be intensely proud. If you are a human being, unshackled by race or creed, you will marvel at the possibilities of the soul that is undaunted. You will also probably reflect how you, born free and living in the North with its splendid libraries, lecture forums, free schools and universities to which you are entreated to enter. how you with your thousand superior chances have done, and are doing, almost nothing in comparison. Douglas, if not the most conspicuous figure in our national life, is without a doubt, the greatest.

When the editor of the best known Negro newspaper in the world starts out to go on a trip to Brazil with his wife, there is hesitation and biggling in Washington about giving him a passport. Having no good excuse to refuse, however, they finally give it to him. But next the word is somehow passed on to the Brazilian consul in New York, and he capitulates to the American habit and hesitates and biggles and balks at giving his "O. K." on the passport of an intelligent colored American who wants to visit Brazil as a tourist and lecturer and investigator. Perhaps it would be all right if this colored man were going as a laborer, or to settle in and cultivate some part of the Brazilian swamps. But a Negro observing, investigating, lecturing, and coming—No! No! And so this colored man, whose enterprising newspaper is known all over the world, and whose name stands out prominently where no Brazilian consul's name will ever stand, has to go and get some 'yellow ticket' from some little-known white man before these other white men will let this black man go to Brazil—not as a public charge, but a well-to-do, independent and intelligent traveller with his wife. Then when he goes to buy a ticket on some steamship line, he meets the old lie: "All space taken." But his wife, whose skin is too light to tell of her black blood, could go right in behind him to the same liar and find out that there was a whole tubful of tickets waiting for even any white tramp who may wish to ride on them, if he can pay for them. The Negro of America had no worry with passports when he was going to Europe in 1917. The Brazilian Government and people should be asked whether they desire that wealthy American Negroes should travel in Brazil and spend their money, or whether the Brazilian consuls are to be tolerated in toddying to American prejudice, when the conditions in their South American country ought to make them strong against such narrowness. 135th Street Library Notes Library's New Book Shelf: "Where the Blue Begins," by Christopher Morley, a kind of fairy tale," for grown-ups.
