Rubs Acid on Lips in Order to Frighten Wife
PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 21.
—Henry Mitchell, aged 57 years, had an argument with his wife Tuesday evening and to frighten her rubbed on his lips, then told her he had swallowed pollen, with the intent of committing suicide. Mrs. Mitchell immediately summoned the Frankstown Avenue Police Station and had her husband rushed to the Pittsburgh Hospital, where the stomach pump revealed that the only "pollen" he had swallowed was an extra large amount of moonshine.
Mitchell's lips were slightly burned by the acid, according to testimony by hospital physiologists who attended him, before Magistrate Smith. The doctors also stated that Mitchell was very much intoxicated and had been kept at the hospital for a day and a night for observation.
When he was released from the hospital the police placed him under arrest, charged with disorderly conduct, Mitchell was fined $25, with the option of spending 30 days in jail, following the hearing before Magistrate Smith. He went to jail.
Banker J. Mitchell Denied New Trial
RICHMOND, Va., May 21. Judge Richardson, in Hastings Court Tuesday, overruled a motion for a new trial in the case of John Mitchell, Jr., convicted by a jury two weeks ago for alleged irregularities in connection with the management of the Mechanics Savings Bank. Mr. Mitchell's counsel noted exceptions, and he was bailed in the sum of $10,000 pending an appeal to the State Supreme Court.
The nearing Tuesday consumed three hours. Arguments were made on technical points raised by the defense in their motion to set aside the verdict of the jury. Commonwealth's attorney, Dave R. Fatterfield, argued for the State. In last Saturday's issue of The Planet, John Mitchell, Jr., issued a statement on the case, and, among other things, says:
"We stake forty-five years' reputation for honesty, integrity and honorable action against ten months' assertions of our enemies and those who desire to profit by the failure of the greatest financial institution of the colored people. Our primary object and desire is to reimburse any of our people who have invested in any enterprise fostered by us.
"The money belonging to us and to the organizations with which we are affiliated was taken by others or was secured to other accounts, so that when checks were drawn upon the account there was no money to meet them. There was no other course for us to pursue, other than to assume complete responsibility. Our ledger sheets at the bank had been mission, removed in order to cover up these populations and to make us the victim."
Dr. K. Elliott Rawlins, who writes each week for The Amsterdam News on health topics, has announced that on Mondays, May 28 he will remove his office from 101 W. 1844th St. to 8 W. 1848th St. where he has recently purchased a private house. Dr Rawlins has been living in Mt. Vernon.

LEADS OWN FED. COURT PENALTY FOR USING MAIL TO DEFRAUD IS VERY SEVERE
CABARET ORDERED CLOSED
Chicago Mayor Bans Famous Black and Tan Resort Owned By White Man; Bred Crime, He Says.
CHICAGO, Ill., May 21. Mayor William E. Dever issued an order to Chief of Police Morgan Collins to close Tearneys Auto Line, at 8th and Calumet Avenue, in the heart of the famous "Second Ward." The cabaret has flourished without molestation through one city administration after another and withstood efforts of reform associations and chiefs of police. Mayor Dever made the announcement while addressing three thousand members of the Bethel A. M. E. Church and Chicago citizens at 4200 Grand Boulevard, Wednesday night. The occasion of the meeting was the third anniversary of Rev. A. J. Carey as bishop.
Ion. Omar DePriest and Bishop A J Carey protested in talks made previous to the Mayor's that all other cabarets styled by the daily press as "Black and Tan" cafes had been closed by the Mayor's executive order last week, but this one cabaret catering exclusively to white people still remained open in the very midst of colored homes. Mayor Dever was urged by Mr. DePriest to appoint Bishop Carey as a member of the School Board. The Mayor, in his address, promised the colored people another "outstanding" appointment besides the five attorneys already placed in the Corporation Council's office.
At the banquet following the mass meeting, seventy ministers of the A. M. M. Alliance, headed by Dr C. M. Tanner, pastor of Greater Bethel, and Rev. Johnson, pastor of Institutional A. M. M. Church, presented Bishop Carey with a framed and gold engraved set of resolutions commending the Rt. Rev. Carey for his great services to the colored people of Chicago, and the nation for his fearless leadership in the last twenty-five years.
STRUCK BOARDER
WITH HATCHET; FREED
George Douglas, 42, 5 West 137th Street, and Mrs. Victoria Wright, 50, East 139th Street, were charged by Magistrate Ronald, in Harlem Court, when arraigned on charges of felonious assault made by George L. Cox, 5 West 129th Street.
Cox formerly lived in the home of Mrs. Wright. He testified that when he went there to get some of his belongings he was attacked by Mrs. Wright and Douglas. The ladder, he said, struck him with a piece of iron pipe, while Mrs. Wright struck him on the head with a hatchet.
Mrs. Wright admitted striking Cox with the hatchet, but claimed she acted in self-defense. She charged that Cox the day before had broken and killed her and that he threatened to come back and kill her. Douglas, she said, was in her home for the purpose of protecting her, and that Cox, after breaking into her home, assaulted her. It was then that a wreck hit with the hatchet, Nye. J. got mad.
PINE BLUFF, Ark, May 21.
—Fully 1,100 Negroes, from
miles in every direction, gathered at Gray and was held all for a special event, which they expected to attend them to the Big Industrial centers of the North, according to a report received here from the postmaster at Grady.
Postmaster Bittenger, says that some of the disappointed Negroes confided to him that a well dressed and educated, prosperous looking colored man came to this section about four weeks ago and arranged with numbers of them to go to the North. He collected from $2 to $10 from each in return for which he was to make special reservations for us on the special train and sign us up for jobs at our destination.
Bittenger said that the Negroes were at the station before sun up and remained until after midnight before convinced that they had been bunched out of their money. The promised train never arrived nor did the alleged labor agent.
Prince Hall Masons Listen to Address by Noted Indianapolis Citizen.
An elaborate and enjoyable function was held at the Laurel Garden, New York City, Friday, May 18, when King David's Consistory No. 3, Prince Hall Masons, gave a testimonial banquet and reception in honor of M. P. S. G. C. Sumner A. Purnisa, Thirty-third Degree of Indianapolis.
Sublime Prince A. A. Schomberg, the toastmaster and general chairman of the affidavit, arranged the toasts so that they covered every phase of Masonry, as well as general themes of interest.
Wm. C. Nikina, a member of Association Commandery, the baby commandery, rendered "The Vagaband" and "Golgotha" to tremendous applause.
Toasts were given by Grand Master D. W. Parker, Harry J. White, M. P. L. G. C. Geo. W. Crawford, of New Haven, Coun.; Isaiah G. Wilson, Daniel T. Twagia, Dr. R. R. Johnson, John C. Sevilla, Rev. Dr. Richard C. Mason, and Rev. Dr. Olae D. Martin.
Dr. Furzheim spoke briefly and to the point. Some of the things he said are: "All great men come from the South, and the greater citizens are, the quieter they come from there"; "The day has passed when Macroni lives of Macroni bodies by graft"; "I believe in Black leadership and a loyal following"; "We have got to have more Racial solidarity, and we must weed out immorality"; "It is the duty of every good man to join the ranks to help remove the vile from among our people."
Adrian Bolsson Held in $1,000 Bail; Alleged to Have Removed All the Furniture From Apartment.
Adrian Boisson, 32, of 234 West 122nd Street, was held in $1000 bail in the Washington Heights Court last Monday by Magistrate Goodman, when charged by his wife Martha, of 131 West 133rd Street, with the theft of $75. Mrs. Boisson said that she had been separated from her husband, and that on May 6 after a period of three and a half years he had come to plead for forgiveness. While alone in the house, she said, he had taken the money that had been hidden in an old skirt in her trunk along with Boisson's insurance policy which she had kept up during his absence. She also declared that he had taken all the furniture from the house, and had taken the insurance policy to the Metropolitan office and tried to borrow money on it. Clarice Barne, 131 West 133d street testified to the taking of the money from the trunk.
Bolson pleaded not guilty. He said that his wife had been arrested for policy playing the day in question and had been taken to the Jefferson Market Court. In order to secure ball for her, he said, he had drawn his money from the bank, and tried to borrow money on his insurance. The furniture, he said, had been taken from an installment house, and he ordered the firm to send for it.
While about to place under arrest Henry Du Bole, butler, employed in the home of Frank de Candray, on Griffin Avenue, Mamaroneck, last week, State Trooper W. F. Buckley, attached to the White Plains headquarters, was shot in the arm by Du Bole, who then leaped through a window and made his escape. Buckley, with Troopers Dodd and Lord, visited the De Candray home in response to a telephone call from Mrs. de Candray, who said the butler was causing a disturbance. On their arrival the troopers learned the butler had gone to his room. When he refused to unlock his door the troopers burst it in. Du Bole was waiting with a receiver aimed at the door and fired a Buckley entered. Before the other two troopers could come him he had jumped to the ground and disappeared in the darkness.

Edgar Gray, Former Secretary to U. N. L. A. Head, First Witness Called by Prosecutors—General and Specialtors Throng Court.
AFTER repeated postponements lasting nearly a year the case of the Federal Government against Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa and head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for alleged use of the mails to defraud, finally came to a trial before Judge Cornelius W. Mack, in the Federal Court on Friday, May 18. Arraigned with Garvey are Elie Garcia, ex-Auditor-General of the U. N. I. A.; George Tobias, Treasurer, and Orlando Thompson, Secretary-General.
图
Appearing for Garvey are Attorneys C. W. McDougall, formerly Assistant District Attorney, and Vernal Williams. Garcia is defended by Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committeeman from Georgia; Tobias by Atty. J. Matthews, and Thompson by Atty. J. P. Ifill. The prosecutor is Asat. Dist. Atty. Mattucks.
Considerable trouble was experienced in the impaneling of the jury. The right to challenge was freely exercised on both sides. After a delay that consumed almost the entire day, the following jurors were selected:
Wm. J. Carr, 81 Clifford Ave., Pelham, N. Y.; C. Delana Knapp, 248 West 150th St.; Samuel J. Moorhead, 135 West 79th St.; Martin J. Cregan, 699 Eagle Ave., retired policeman; George B. McLellan, 66 West 88th St.; Charles J. Jansen, 261 Fifth Ave., retired merchant; Leo Pinca, 315 West 113th St., salesman; George Burt, 140 West 113th St., bedding manufacturer; Frank Conkland, 138 West 83rd St., collector; Daniel McElkenny, 5 Van Corlear Pl. Marble Hill, N. Y. C., real estate; Edwin J. Scott, 233 West 117th St., and Lansing A. Wood, 539 West 117th St., cashier.
Allega Million-Dollar Fraud.
Assistant District Attorney Mattuck opened with an outcry of the case in which he emphasized that the government was not interested "with any fool's dream, however foolish it may be for the public advancement and betterment of a people." No one, he insisted, was more willing to assist in getting the rights of any oppressed portion of the population than he. But that, he said, was not the question in this case. The question to be dealt with he pointed out was alleged manipulation of the million or more dollars that passed into the Black Star Line. These funds, he designed, had been treasured, obtained, and that Garvey and the other defendants had used the Negro World for collecting the money. The duty of the jury, he said, was to find out whether a large number of poor persons had been victimized.
All the defendants pleaded not guilty to the eight counts in the indictment.
Bays Garvey Began With Intent to Defend
The first witness for the presentation was Roger M. Gough 134 West 120th street, former Secretary-General, and once holder of several other important posts in the organization. His testimony was to the effect that Garvey had intended fraud from the outset. It showed that, that the collecting of money for the Black Star Line began earlier.

KU KLUX CHEERED ON MARCH
100 Per Cent. American Upholders of Christian Religion Hold a Parade Through Jersey Town; Donate $200; U. S. Flag With Fiery Cross in Demonstration.
POINT PLEASANT, N. J.
May 21.—Local whites turned out in large number last night and cheered a gang of Kluxers, hooded and gowned, who marched in military formation to the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, where a dozen social and fraternal lodges were attending a special lodge service and where seats were carefully reserved for the exponents of 100 per cent Americanism — southern brand.
The Kluxans carried at the head of their column two poles bearing American flags and between them the flaming cross of the Invisible 'Christian' (J) Empire.
The 250 odd Survivors of the Stone Age married into church while the hundreds of white spectators outside cheered lustily. The entire eastern side of the Christian edifice had been reserved for them.
When the pastor called for the chaplains of the various societies to speak, by common consent only one responded—a Knight of the Invisible Empire, who took the pulpit and, with hand on the Bible, proclaimed the Klan as a great force for civic righteousness.
After the service the pastor asked all to remain seated until the Klansman had staged their spectacular departure. This was done—the hooded Kites marking out to the strain of "America". Rev. Muller disclaimed membership in the Invisible Empire, but declared himself as heartily in favor of its principles.

Jas. A. Cobb Wins Maryland Case
Court of Appeals Awards His Client $500.
James A. Cobb, Chairman of the Legal Committee of the District of Columbia Branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has won before the Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, a Jim Crow case involving the right of a colored passenger to travel from Maryland into Washington without having to change to the Jim Crow section of the car he was riding in. The case, won on appeal, awards $500 and costs to Mr. Cobb client.
William A. Waller, the plaintiff, for whom the victory was won, was ejected from a train operated by the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railroad Company, because, having purchased a ticket from Maryland into Washington, he refused to change to the Jim Crow station of the train when ordered to do so by the conductor. The extinction took place in the State of Maryland, about midnight and Mr. Waller was compelled to remain there until sometime the next morning.
In affirming the verdict in favor of Mr. Waller, made by a lower court, Judge Barbar of the Court of Appeals said:
"We think that the appellee was an interstate passenger and that the Maryland Statute requiring segregation of white and colored passengers was not applicable to him."
Charles Batchell Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., famous orator, who has just concluded a record-breaking tour of the far southern States, where he addressed more than 100,000 persons of both races, in a seven-weeks' trip, made a whirlwind trip to New York City and this section, speaking at five gigantic meetings. He leaves for his home in Virginia to night.
The celebrated young Virginia spokesman discussed the exodus and its effect upon the white and colored people of the South, together with other questions as they relate to the Negro. He asserted that the southern white man was never as ready to grant justice to the race as he is at the present hour. "His own economic future is involved," Morris declared.
Pride of race and a growing consciousness of power on the part of the Negro were evident to the most casual observer, he said. He praised the press in no uncertain way for the tremendous influence it had exerted in this direction. According to him the Negroes of the country are reading as never before. He was heard and welcomed by hundreds of persons in Bayonne, Jersey City and Montclair, and in New York City and Yonkers. It was announced just before his departure that he would return to this section early in September to deliver a series of addresses. Recently he spoke from the same platform with the Governors of Virginia and South Carolina.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. May 21.—To avoid what appeared to be an imminent race clash at the Ellen Morgan School here last Tuesday was averted by the prompt action of Principal U. L. Monce and six male teachers, who unhered the Negro pupils out one door and sent them home, while they held the white pumila in school.
The trouble was said to have started over a first fight in an alley in the rear of the school on Monday afternoon when a Negro boy and a white boy settled a trivial dispute. On Tuesday morning the trouble was augmented when a small Negro boy is said to have shoved a white boy on the stairs. At noon time the little white lad went home and told his troubles to his family and his older brother asserted that he and his gang would clean up the school.
When dismissal time arrived the principal directed that the white pupils be detained for a few min-
oles, and with several new teachers, he taught the Negro children to a rear exit and saw them safely on their way homeward.

Bring the
In a special despatch from Great Falls, Neb., to the New York Times, Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, is on record having made the announcement that Jack will meet Harry Wills for the world's title in New York or New Jersey on Labor Day.
Personally we do not believe that Kearns is sincere as he has made this announcement every time Dempsey is about to engage in a fight. It helps to center attention on the white champion and many dollars are drawn into the box office by this clever piece of press agent work. Tex Rickard will also be on the job digging up another "white hope" for Dempsey to drop while Paddy Mullins is giving a correct imitation of a clam.
It is the opinion of colored people that Paddy is not making enough noise over Wills and many believe that even the sporting writers are taking this view of the matter. While many of the pen pushers on the big papers are prejudiced, they always welcome sensational "copy" and others like Goo Underwood of the Telegram and "Tad" of the New York Evening Journal would welcome a little speed on the part of Mullins in behalf of his meal ticket. Speaking of Wills on Monday "Tad" had the following to say: "The saddest figure in the gym is Harry Wills, a colored boxer, out of work. Wills, who is, i. good citizen and a credit to boxing, was Jack Dempsey's most "logical" rival a few months ago.
He has allowed the grass to grow under his feet, however, and is in danger of becoming Uncle Tom of the sketch.
The Times despatch which brings up the information anent the mythical plans of Jack eKarms concerning Harry Wills states:
"Jack Dempsey will battle Harry Wills, after Negro heavyweight, after meeting Tom Gibbons at Shelby on July 4, according to Jack Kearns. Dempsey's manager, who took charge at the champion's training quarters here today. The Dempsey-Wills content will be stared on Labor Day, Kearns said, probably in New York or New Jersey. When asked regarding future nurses for Dempsey, his manager said that he signed Jack and Wills would draw a bigger gate in this country than any two other fighters."
Williams to the Fore
Hangs It Heavy on Jones and Comes Out Ahead in
In the presence of a large gathering of members and friends at the Colored Amateur Billiard Players' Club, Friday evening, George Williams, examateur champion of 1917, staged a comeback by defeating Clarence Jones in the final play-off of the club's 10th annual Round Robin 18.2 balkline tournament of 199 points, which was composed of 12 players. Williams was very nervous at the opening of the game, doing everything but breaking his cue. Jones, in his egerness to get off with a lead, did everything that was unexpected but make Billiards. To the many friends who had gathered to see the new starter win, it was evident that the one best bet had gone wrong. Nevertheless, after a time, they both got started.
Williams, after drawing four games, commenced to click off 15-7-19-21 going out in the 48th inning, leaving Jones 27 billiards behind, 100-62. Both players received much applause during the game. Williams now has two legs on the W. H. Willis trophy, which must be won three times to become the personal property of the player. The Consolation Tournament, composed of those who did not get placed in the regular tournament, will begin May 22. The club's banquet and election of officers was held at Creggan Dining Room, Tuesday evening, May 22.

Johnson and Opponent Fined For Stalling
So Says Special Dispatch From Cuba to Universal Service of Champ's Fight There
A special despatch to Universal Service is authority for the assertion that the fight on Sunday last between Jack Johnson and Jack Thompson was "one of those things—a stalling affair." The fight took place in Havana, Cuba, and Johnson had the advantage of every round of the 12, for which the encounter was scheduled. The Cuban referee left the ring after the 10th round and his place was taken by Sammy Nolan, who refereed the other two rounds. It is also said that the Havana Boxing Commission fined both fighters $500 for what they claim was stalling tactics instead of a real honest-to-goodness fight.

At the Commonwealth Sporting Club, last Saturday night, kild Buller won the decision from Frankle Fuller in 12 rounds. Buller started out, like a housefire and knocked his man down for the count of nine in the first round. The popular little fighter repeated in the third, when he again put Fuller down, but the white boy was as game as they make 'em and weathered the storm of Buller's heavy artillery, going the 12 rounds, although receiving an unusual amount of punishment. In the star bout of the evening, Danay Edwards met Frankle Jerome and both fighters gave a good account of themselves. Minus a punch, Danay hang his right upon the chin time after time but could not stop him. Jerome, in the latter rounds of the fight, managed to overcome a lead won by Edwards earlier in the bout, and, at the conclusion, the judges called it a draw.

About Things Theatrical
After five weeks on Broadway the "How Come?" company closed last Saturday night to make way for another production which, it is said, will enter the Apollo under arrangements for the May opening plans of which had been laid long before the coming of the colored show to 42nd Street.
From Jack Goldberg we have it that the show will go to Asbury Park on August 15th to start on a tour which will run into next May, the show to travel as far west as California. In Harlam It is said that "How Come?" will play for two weeks at the Lafayette Theatre in August before leaving the city.
Eddie Hunter as a comedian received as much praise as any individual of color that ever appeared on Broadway and even though the show is closing, phonograph concerns have been making test records of his singing with the idea of flooding the country with records made by Hunter. So far the comedian has signed no contracts but the next week or so will find him hooked up with some big concern.
The Ethiopian Art Theatre closed at the Frazze Theatre after two weeks. While Wilde's "Salome" was well received by the critics, the majority of the writers saw greater possibilities for original presentations by the colored artists after witnessing "The Chip Woman's Fortune," by Willie Richardson.
The colored people of Harlem and other places did not respond as heartily to the two shows just closed as the producers had hoped. Fifteen or twenty years ago it was a novelty to the colored population to journey down town to see how Broadway accepts a colored show, but today they are going down town with the same idea as the white folks and if you carry no especial appeal.
From a racial standpoint many should lend their support to these ventures as it means the continued employment of hundreds of performers and lends encouragement to those colored men producing these shows or working in conjunction with those furnishing the money to bring out the shows.
We understand that another colored show will soon be heading for Broadway. The road now being clear it will be interesting to watch developments. In the meantime "Shuffle Along" continues to carry the palm. Also, with 8. Tutt Whitney picking the kind of stars he did some months ago in the Chicago Defender, the shufflers will hold the palm for quite some time to come.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21. The Fourth Annual Track Meet, given by Howard University, Saturday, May 12, resulted in a victory to the university. Howard having scored 52 points as against 45 points for Hampton, its nearest opponent. The meet was participated in by representatives from Howard, Hampton, Wilberforce, Storer, Bordentown, Dunbar and Armstrong, the local high schools, and Baltimore High School. Special events were arranged for Ned Gourdin, the world's champion broad jumper; Cornelius Thompson, of New York University, and Jimmie Moore, of Pennsylvania State College.
Some of the remarkable events of the day were the sensational 100-yard run by Richardson, of Shaw Junior High School in 10 fat; the brilliant two-mile run by Nichols, the newcomer, from the University of Nebraska, in 10.5. Nichols showed great endurance and lead in every lap, sprinting in on the finish for 220 yards, leaving the second man. Graham, of Hampton, about 80 yards behind, Green, Doakes, Warring, Young and Anderson, of Howard, showed cleverness and ability in the field events. Wilberforce took only two third places in the meet but first place was expected to be theirs in the pole vault, which was cancelled on account of broken poles. "Suds" Sedwick, of Wilberforce, vaults 10 feet 6 inches. He is known as Wilberforce's zero star.
Among the notable events were the presentation of Ned Gourdin, the star from Harvard, who broke the world record in the running broad jump at 25 feet 3 inches least

Cuban Stars Hand Defeat to Hilidale
Great Havana Spitballist Shuts Out Crack Philadelphiaians by 3-0 Score
The Cuban Stars gave the Hillsdale Club of Darby, Pa., their first defeat in the league at Hillsdale Field here to-day, when Oscar, the brilliant spitballer of the Cuban staff, shut them out by the score of 3 to 0, it being the first shutout sustained by Hillsdale during the present season.
Oscar was in such rare form that the heavy sluggers of Hilldale could only garner 5 hits, of which one was a scratch, while he received sterling support from his teammates. Hare and Chacon being the particular stars in this respect, the former saving the game in the 6th, when, with two men on base and two out, he caught Thomas high fly just as the ball was disappearing over the bleacher rail Chacon also saved trouble in the 6th when he speared a hot one off the bat of Warfield, running into left field for the ball.
Winters, who was on the mound for Hilldale, also pitched good ball, but was the victim of breaks, Hilldale's two errors, and four of the eight hits which he allowed being bunched in the fourth inning, when the Stars got their three runs. It was singular that seven of the eight hits which Winters allowed went into right field, there being but one extra base blow, and that from Dihego, who tripped in the seventh.

STEAD GRAYS DIVIDE
(Preston News Service)
PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 21.—The lads from the Forest City gave the Homestead Grays a jam-up trimming Friday afternoon in the Pirates' famous Forbes Field, to the tune of 6-2. The pill was served to the Grays by the lean and lanky Branahan, while the Grays used the erratic Canady to toss to the visitors. Canady is regarded as a pitching, wizard, in short, a baseball playing fool, but he could not get his stuff past the Clevelanders on Friday afternoon.
On Saturday, the story was somewhat different. Manager Posey, of the Grays, put his fast ball artist, Oscar Owens, on the mound, and the veteran catch, W. P. Young, as the receiver. For six innings it appeared that Owens had things his way and the game sewed up in a oag and locked in his hip pocket, but Cardozo slammed out a three-bagger and some safe binges landed two runs in the fifth, and in the sixth stanza two more. runners crossed the plate. Posey sent Lefty Williams, the southpaw, to the rescue.
The Grays had managed to get 9 runs before the close of the fourth, while the Clevelanders had only 3. When they annexed 5 more runs, Owens was yanked out and Williams out in his place.
The Cleveland lads used two pitchers. McClain had to be taken out in the third and McClure was put in. It looked as though McClure was not going to get down to earth, but after pitching two innings he was able to line up goose eggs in the score of the Grays to the close of the game. The final score was 9-3 in favor of the Grays.
THRONGS PRESENT AT EUROPE MEMORIAL
The memorial services in honor of the late Lieut. James Reese Europe were held during the Lycomen hour, under the anspies of the Clof Club. The auditorium and galleries were packed, even standing room being at a premium. The 369th Regiment, under command of Col.

Europe and rendered such meritorious services in France during the World War.
Invocation was offered by Dr. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church. Mr. Ira P. Horrington was master o f ceremonies. Able addresses were made by Col. Litt. Dr. Robinson and Mrs. John E. Nail. Vocal selections were rendered by Mr. J. Louis Harrison, assisted by Messra. Broadway Jones, A. S. Jackson and Henry Saparo, and accompanied by Leslie Hutchinson.

Secretary of U.S.Navy Pays Tribute to Colored Bandmaster
Colored Naval Band an Institution Says Virgin Island Correspondent
Amsterdam News Writer Says Bandmaster a Genius Who Would Find His True Sphere in the United States of America.
ST. THOMAS, V.I.U.S.A.
(Special Correspondence to The Amsterdam News)
The first of my series of articles to The Amsterdam News gave an insight into political conditions here, and readers will remember that I stressed the point that it was an economic situation with which the islanders must battle Prohibition has done its worst and the islanders are still wondering how Congress will square its action by allowing the Philippine Islands a fuller measure of freedom where this question is concerned and refusing to lend an ear to the plains of these people who have shown that the process of Americanization has met with greater case to our 'overlords' in Washington than that gone through in the cases of Porto Italo and other Inular possessions.
My second article, which appeared a few weeks ago, also gave an insight into a certain phase of political activities here and being on the ground I know that I am sat in making the assertion that the leadership of some of those considered big political mongols here by colored Americans and Virgin Islanders resident on the mainland smacks of the leadership of the African Provisional President with followers of the same cults as those in New York City following the lead of a selfappointed president of a mythical republic who has fashioned his court after certain European nations, with dikes, fords counts, etc., who are fondly looking forward to that day when they can return to the shores of Africa and establish their ducal palaces in the land of our forefathers:
Carrief away by the excitement of the moment with the expectation of the Secretary of the United States Navy and the party of Congressmen and newspaper representatives from the leading papers of the United States, and my mind be centered on what I was sent here to and out. I did not enjoy the opportunity of doing a little closer into the appearance of others and made the mistake of saying there was not much to admire. But through the courtesy of some of the islands' leading citizens, I have driven over the hills and countryside of this town, where, where they tell me that Spanish gold flowed like liquor into the neighboring island of Tortuga in the early days, and I have found much to admire.
I have been in many hospitable places, but few can compare with the islands of St. Thomas and St. Cruz. I have visited the original Pine Beard's castle; I have heard the tale of treasure which many natives believe that Captain Kilden buried here. I have found many landmarks of dava dating back write a distance, and have heard the old-timers boast of the fact that their culture dates back more than 200 years through their contact with European civilization. Emperor William's Hohenzollern stopped her on her way to meet Prince Henry during the Hudson-Fulton celebration, also the ships in which Columbus and his daring mariners first discovered these islands.
A prince of Denmark (Waldebeer) renewed old acquaintance here recently, and eager were such men as the Hon. John Lightbounn to full of the early visit of this nation of the Danish royal family. Also they spoke of the visits of their older princes of their former regions, the coming of the Duke of Abvayt, and all as I enjoyed the beauty of the land-locked harbor from the hills; the refreshing waters under shade trees on the mountain days with sand no white it sends back the reflection of the sun no intensified it hurts the eyes of those not "climatised."
They can also boast of a colored merchant prince here in the person of A. H. Lockhart. At times and in certain places one can gaze on his holdings as far as the eye can see and the industries which he captain are many. At certain intervals their first horses race here, supported by an outstations found only in England on Farbay Day, for the majority enjoy the sport for more sake.
Where they played cricket before they are now playing baseball and playing the national game with a voyageance. The marines of Uncle Sam stationed here and the spies from many of our warships will testify to this. The "young blood" of the islands are true sports in every sense of the word, and recently three young men, one of them the oldest son of Mr. Sack, heart, above spoken of, clipped in to make up a sum of over a thousand dollars to bring a team from Puerto Rico to engrave in a series. The Porto Rico Reins defeated the white boys in Uncle Sam's employ in the Navy Department, meaning the marines, but when they stacked up against those colored it Thomass they went the route of all visiting teams, and that who to elemental devast.

tor to these islands ever falls to pay tribute to his ability as a musician. I have reference to Bandmaster Alton A. Adams, the only Norma holding such a position in Uncle Sam's navy, and holding it in a manner that reflects honor on the race wherever the flag files. My attention was attracted to Adams when Secretary Denby, his modest suit of blue reflecting on the background of the spotless white uniform with its insignia of rank worn by the bandmaster, hurriedly stepped forward the day he landed here and, heartily gripping young Adams by the hand, complimented him on appearance and playing of what he considered one of the best outfits of its kind in the entire navy.
There was something about the action of both the Governor and the Secretary of our Navy to make the writer feel proud that this young son of the tropics stood as a representative of men of color in a calling that has given to us such men as Charlton, Burleigh, Cooke, Vodery, Tyers and a host of others too numerous to mention. I now know why the leading colored musicians of Washington and New York paid such glowing tributes to this young bandmaster on his visit to the United States last Summer, and I can but echo the praises sung to him at a banquet of the leading musicians when the same Mr. Burleigh, Mr. Charlton, Lieut. Brymm and a score of others bade him one of the most hearty welcomes that was ever tendered a man born and bred in the tropics by his brothers of color in America.
This naval band, headed by Adams, is an institution in these islands. They are proud of it here and, most surprising of all, I have found that the American whites in power have taken unto themselves a certain pride in the outfit. The story of the rise of this colored bandmaster is one of the most fascinating and, but for the fact that I cannot infringe too far on the valuable space of The Amsterdam News, it would be indeed a labor of love to go into details. However, creating the indulgence of the editor, I might say that Adams started life learning the trade of shoemaker. He is the good musician. He is gave promise of becoming as nice a shoemaker as the islands ever produced; but his associates tell me they discerned something else in his dream manner, and they are not surprised at his wonderful strides in life in a different calling. To my mind, his true sphere would lie in America.
He burned the midnight oil and, as a member of the Municipal Band, his ambition carried him to a perfection that soon brought to one Ephephe Sebastian the fact that in Adams none warrior for support breathed the life of a tropic day, and to him has Adams given credit for giving our colored naval bandmaster the place that placed him where he is. At the head of a boy's band, known as Adams Juvenile Band, and as a writer, for the leading musical publications in America, Adams proved this Sebastian to be a good judge of human nature, for, when Uncle Sam took possession of the islands, all that Adams asked before being induced into the service was a competitive examination and where others posed, he worked, and his reward in the esteem of the best

Some day our good friend Joe Bright, who believes that he has outgrown our reference to his size by saying that he is of Taftan proportions and is rather like that boy from the vast pampas they call Senior Firpo, is going to write a musical comedy with scenes laid in some South American country and music associated with things Spanish and surprise a number of those who believe that he is still ages from Broadway.
We drifted into the Lafayette Theatre on Monday night fully realizing that it is only a superman that can in the short period of time Joe had, produce the kind of show worthy of the appalation at the head: of the program which says "the peer of colored musical comedies", and while Joseph might be a genius he is far from the super variety.
Joe sticks as close to the prairies and pampas as the pronga on the cactus plant, and while he did for the time being get away from the Mexican border, still he hovered for a few minutes in Madrid (pronounce this with a soft rolling of the tongue to give it the true Spanish touch) and look ye, there was Senorita Lopez. Joe lays claim to a book, and while it would be unchartable to say there was not anything that forces us to admit him into the sacred confines and councils of authors, he did bring us an evening's entertain-which the large audience enjoyed to the fullest.
The coming of Ethel Waters to sing her blues almost made us forget the other part of the show but we did see some good work from the comedians and other sports that warrant us in making the statement that "Get Set" should do a fine week at the Lafayette. Andrew Falchild, very recently one of the comedians with the "How Come" show, received a big hand from his former fellow members of the company who appeared to be pleasurably surprised to see him in the offering. On the whole and after considering the difficulties under which Joe worked, we will say that he got off to as splendid a start as most any of the musical comedy shows of recent days at the Lafayette and a better one than many.

A Story of Life in the Motion Picture Studies.
Thousands of girls dream of getting into moving pictures. The beautiful stars of studioland live in an atmosphere of wealth and frivolity—jewels, motor cars, clothes, gayety. How do they travel the road to fame? Is it easy? Dangerous? Risky? Here is the truth about motion pictures—frank, daring, thrilling. Rupert Hughes' drama is the untold story of life in the studios of Hollywood.
Boston Advertiser—The screen has gained one of its few veritable classics. It is visual literature hauntingly beautiful. Boston Morning Globe—One of the most beautiful photoplay ever made. Morning Telegraph—It is a pleasure to see such a fine piece of work. Philadelphia North American—One of the most interesting pictures ever produced. It combines pretty nearly the best in everything, acting, photography, directing, cast. It is a whale of a picture.
Feature Films Attracting Large Audiences to House at Corner of 7th Ave. and 145th St.
That the change in policy at the Roosevelt Theatre has met with favor at the hands of moving picture fans no one can deny who have noticed the large audiences which have been greeting the films from the first day they offered as the big attraction Douglas Felbranka in "Robin Hood."
Following with "Down To The Sea in Ships" the crowds were piling into the Roosevelt and this week they are laughing themselves silly at the antics of Harold Lloyd in his latest picture entitled "Safety Last". Continuing with the beat as announced by manager Corsin, the Roosevelt management will bring to the community next week Rupert. Hughes' widely spoken of picture of Hollywood life called "Souls For Sale." This picture has occasioned more pkk than any other picture of its kind in recent days and with Karl Kitchin of the New York World and others writing on the doings at this home of the motion picture in America, the people seem to be all "hat up" in expectation of the showing which starts on Sunday night.
Among the many features that will carry an especial appeal to the thousands journeying to the Roosevelt to view this picture can be found life in Hollywood; how films are made; perils of studio work; home life of the stars; a girl's fight for fame; the leap from the fast express; the circus fire that traps hundreds and other things in what is really one of the most sensational things done by an author with a national reputation.

Lincoln Theatre, the curtain went up on a little playlet that held our attention from the start, and, at the conclusion, we thought it one of the best things done at the time. Colored newspaper writers had been called upon for dramatic work from their own pens for the stage, and this little playlet of which we speak, gave every indication that Wilson, who, we later found out, was the author, appeared in the nature of a pioneer and one who would easily blaze the trail of dramatic productions if the opportunity ever presented itself.
The manner in which "The Chip Woman's Fortune," by Willis Richardson, was received clinched the writer's opinion that these little dramatic playlets by our own people would be well received if the managers, who think they reflect in

Raymond O'Nell thought he would create a sensation with Wilde's drama on Broadway, and while the play was well received, we fear it never would have attracted the attention it did but for the support given it by an original offering, when "The Chip Woman's Fortune" was allowed to be put on as the curtain-raiser. Frank Wilson, in his writings, is simply putting into words and action things true to life, as they concern our people in America and the conditions under which the live

they would be the means of exposing white America to his lack of appreciation of the culture space. The white man's attitude toward us has been such there is nothing of the dramatic that can be written of a laudatory nature, except in a few instances, and we still maintain that America's great drama will some day be written by a colored man or woman—"drama that will depict the sufferings of the race in a manner to arrest the attention of white audiences in spite of the force with which the draumatist will drive home hisraft against a condition which he denmable to the extreme.

"WHERE THE PAVEMENT."
COURT CROWDED TO HEAR TRIAL
corporation; second, that the Black Star Line was incorporated only after it had been forced to do so by Assistant District Attorney Kilroe; third, that the money collected from sale of stock in the Black Star Line had been diverted to the support of insolvent corporations that were not subsidiary to the Black Star Line, and fourth, that 51 per cent of the stock was owned by the U. N. I. A. without the U. N. I. A. having paid for it with the result that for every dollar the Black Star Line invested 51 cents went to the U. N. I. A.
Under cross-examination Gray declared that he could not swear how much money had been collected. He said that as one of the incorporators he received 45 shares, but which in reality belonged to the U. N. I. A. He also charged that Garvey failed to account for a stock book with stubs showing the amount of Black Star Line stock that had been sold on his first trip to Virginia, declaring that it had been lost. Gray also said that on one occasion Garvey to settle a suit for civil libel had given him $100 from the Black Star Line, $100 from the U. N. I. A., and $5 from his personal account.
According to this witness, Orlando Thompson was not connected with the organization at this period. Gray proved an able witness for the prosecution and more than successfully held his own with the attorney for the defense.
The next witness was Edwin B. Killroe, Assistant District Attorney. Mr. Killroe told how a committee of members from the U. N. I. A. had complained to him of the misuse of funds in the Black Star Line in June, 1919, and how he had sent for Mr. Garvey, who admitted that he had been collecting funds for the Black Star Line; that he had been touring the southern states for that purpose, and that the Black Star Line was not incorporated. Garvey, he said, made no offer to account for the money, or to show his books. He also told of a second interview with Garvey because of the complaints of Gray, Warner, and others over the alleged loss of a stock book. Garvey, he said, had made counter-charges against Gray and Warner, accusing them of the misuse of the funds.
Mr. Killroe further testified to a third meeting with Garvey on Sept. 16, 1919, when he had sent for Garvey because of a full page ad of the Black Star Line that had appeared in the Negro World. He said that he had warned Garvey that a crime had been committed because of the misleading nature of the ad. Garvey, he said, had blamed it on Gray and Warner, which accusation both the latter had denied.
Garvey's council, he said, then pleaded for time, and said that Garvey would shortly return and show that he was acting in good faith. Kilroe then told how he had withdrawn from all connection with the case because of his complaint of criminal libel against Garvey, for which the latter had been held to the grand jury.
Cross-examined Kilroe said that he did not believe the Black Star Line was incorporated until he had sent for Garvey, and told him that he could not sell stock. He denied knowing Gray and Warner at this period.
"I had the case from June 16 to September 16, 1919," he said, "and although I asked for the books I did not get all of them. I got some at one time, some at another, but I never got all of them."
Objected to First Mrs. Garvey
Richard E. Warner, 2412 Seventh avenue, federal prohibition agent, next told of his meeting Garvey in June, 1919, and how Garvey had induced him to join his organization, and how a few days later he was elected Executive Secretary in the U. N. I. A. by unanimous vote with Mr. Garvey in the chair.
Warner also said that he was one of the incorporators and was voted a number of shares which were held by the U. N. I. A. When the Black Star Line was incorporated in June, 1919, Garvey, he said, took with first stock with him to Virginia. Along with him went Tobias and Miss Amy Ashwood, later the first Mrs. Garvey. Warner said that he protested against the taking of Miss Ashwood, insisting that the proper person to go was the treasurer, but that Garvey would have his own way, and had overruled him.
Garvey, he continued, had been gone two weeks and when he returned one of the stock-books was missing. He said further that Garvey while in Virginia had telegraphed him a check to cover salaries, bills for the U. N. I. A. restaurant, several checks that had not been honored at the bank, and other sundries, but that he had refused to handle the telegraphed check as he did not think that the money that Garvey had obtained in Virginia should be used for that purpose. He at once sent a special delivery letter of protest to Garvey, he said, and soon after resigned.
Cross-examined by Lincoln Johnson, Warner said that he only received one remittance from Garvey while the latter was in Virginia, and that he could not recall the amount. He denied that he had had any trouble over the misuse of funds, "except what he had seen in Garvey's paper."
Q. "Did you keep a separate account of the U. N. I. A."
A. "No."
Q. "Did you keep a separate account of the African Communities League?"
A. "No.
Q. "Did you keep a separate account of the Negro World?"
A. "No. I just supervised. I had no accounts to keep."
The power behind the throne, he said, was Miss Ashwood. "I was supposed to control the accounts," he said, "but Miss Ashwood was dominant and wouldn't let anybody look in her books. There was a

DEMOCRATIC CLUB
IN ANOTHER RAID
When the six white men who were arrested for gambling in a building at 154 W. 1334 street were arraigned, before Magistrate Levine in the Heights Court, their ball of 1560 was continued for a further hearing today.
Seventy-five white men were congregated on the third floor of the building, which is occupied by the Ocator Watee Democratic Club, when detectives from Police Headquarters arrived, armed with a warrant.
The men, according to the story of the detectives, began throwing pieces of paper from the window into as alley adjusting the building. Some of these pieces of paper were recovered later, the police said, and being to be sacked cheer and battling stairs.
No doubt to be the finest and most exclusive club in the country for colored people is that located in Westfield, N. J., known as the Shady Rest Country Club and Golf Course.
It has secured thirty-one acres of fine land, a clubhouse for its members and guests, with dining halls, dance hall, and sleeping quarters for their week-end parties. Golf is played every day in the week. There is always some teacher on hand to instruct the beginners. This special feature of the club is under the personal direction of Mr. Troy Gibson, the greatest colored golfer in the country. Mr. Gibson is planning a golf tournament to take place some time during the Summer, at which time he expects to invite and have present some of the best white players of the country to try their luck at it over this famous course.
The clubhouse is an attraction also. Every Sunday persons from New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and from almost everywhere, come to the club for recreation and enjoyment. On Sunday there are specially arranged concerts, featuring some of the greatest artists of the race.
The tennis courts are always ready and inviting to those who care to play.
Basketball has been entirely eliminated from the beautiful grounds, for the reason that it may destroy the fine effect of the club and its purpose. The board of directors, however, plan to purchase an additional plot not far away for this purpose.
The membership of the club consists of the leading people of the country. New York City and Jersey leads in the number of members.
The officers and members of the club have planned a great day for the guests on Decoration Day, May 30th, when Dr. Du Bois will speak. Ten thousand persons are expected to be present. The officers of the club are: Gec. E. Bates, president; Henry C.
Koenig to Speak at Appomattox
Chairman of Republican County Committee to Speak at Appomattox
Samuel S. Koenig, chairman of the RepublMican County Committee will address the Appomattox Republican Club on Wednesday of this week. This will mark the first appearance of the Republican leader in this section in a number of years, and it is certain that the various factions in Harlem will attend the meeting to gauge the views of the leader upon Party affairs.
The appearance of Mr. Koontz at this time is construed as an indication of his desire to have the colored members of the Party assume a more aggressive attitude, and of his willingness to treat with properly organised movements here.
It is understood that leaders in the Appomattox Republican Club who big more than a year have worked to unify the various elements, advised the chairman that the open cooperation of the Party leaders was necessary If the detection of the past two years is to be overcome, at the same time expressing the belief that harmonious condition could readily be brought about by which the interests of the Party would be advanced. Coming in connection with the movement for colored leadership, which has the open approval of the leaders in this section, the visit of Koenig is highly significant.
The meeting will be held in the assembly room of the Association of Trade and Commerce, 2270 Seventh Ave., between 123 and 129 streets, tonight instead of Thursday, which is the regular meeting sight of the Appointorat Republican Club. Musical numbers will be rendered by Mr. D. J. Haynes, bartiana, and Mme. Maud White, centralia.

Booker Washington's Life Put on Screen
"Tuskegue Finds the Way Out" is the title of the latest film success, which was shown for the first time last week to the teachers, students and friends of Columbia University, who filled the Horace Mann Auditorium to capacity.

One is both entertained and educated by this latest screen novelty. The photography is worthy of praise.
After the New York engagements the picture will be shown throughout the country under the direction of Charles Winter Wood. It was made by the Crusaders Film Company, New York.

Indication that the decision of a committee of prominent American artists barring Miss Augusta Savage, art student, from attending the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts because of her color, may be reversed came in a letter yesterday to the girl at No. 228 West 128th Street.
The letter was from Alfred W. Martin of the Ethical Culture Society of New York, who went to France to appeal from the decision to the French Government officials in charge of the school.
"I have seen three of the most important men on the staff of the Fontainebleau School," he writes, "and found them all shocked at the evidence of race prejudice, I presented to them. They all agree that a test case has been presented and that the outlook for the future is very good, as there is no such prejudice here."
However, Miss Savage will be unable to attend the classes this year because, Mr. Martin writes, the arrangements for this season have been completed.
Acids in Stomach Cause Indigestion
Create Gas, Sourness and Pain—How to Treat.
Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, bleeding, nausea, etc. are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of acid. The delicate stomach lining is irritated and digestion is delayed and food causes the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well.
Artificial digestives are not needed in each case and may do no harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any drugglass a few ounces of Dispersed Magnesium and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after getting. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of sucrose and acid there in no sourness, gum or pain. Illustrated Magnesium (in powder or tablet form) is liquid or milk) in harmels to the stomach, irrespective to take and in the search additional form of magnesium for stomach purposes. It is used by the stomach of people who enjoy these meals, with no more benefit than food.

Why bake in brick ovens?
The Answer: In home kitchens, the heavy iron range bakes better than a sheet iron oven, because it keeps the heat more oven—more steady. But there is one oven better than cast iron, and that is a brick oven. Yes—Bond Bread is baked in brick ovens, with walls thicker than the foundation of a house. In such ovens, the heat stays steady. That is why Bond Bread is so uniformly well baked.

"Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep."—Romeus 12:15.
F Paul, the author of the scripture quoted above, were living now, he could hardly give advice that would better fit this day and generation. That which the world seems to lack more than anything else is sympathy on the part of man towards man. Selfishness stalks abroad in utter disregard of the claims of others. It is not more now than before, but so it seems.
All the churches are investing more money and lives in works of mercy and help today than ever before in the history of the world. The Methodist Episcopal church, alone, accepts an annual financial budget of eighteen and one-half million dollars. Yet, because the newspapers every day bring to us so many horrifying accounts of man's inhumanity to man, we repeat that, if Paul were living now, he could hardly find advice that would reach the world's greatest need more completely than when he said to the Christians at Rome: "Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep."
This means that we should be in such whole hearted sympathy with our fellowman that he cannot have occasion to joy or sorrow without being compounded accordingly affected. What blessed experience earthly living would be if others would always share our joys and if the greatest and most humble among us need our sorrow alone.

Why does Paul say, "Rejoice with those who rejoice" before we are enjoined to "weep with those who weep"? Because it is harder to sympathize with persons when joy is theirs, then it is to do so when sorrow afflicts them. The most hard-hearted are touched by grief on the part of others, whereas in gruperous moments they might experience emotions of empathy or easy. To illustrate: in Tulsa, white people who before the race riot carried the Negroes' prosperity, after that awful hocustan, gave those same Negroes shelter, food, clothing and all that they could, to take the sting out of their hearts. Among the thousands of white people who salved the wounds made by foot, arson and murder, were some who aided and abetted it all. In order to prevent much of the sorrow which afflicts the world Paul says, "Rejoice with those who rejoice."
If you look for the underlying cause of all the wars of this old world, you will find it in the fact that man has failed to get pleasure

If Germany, prior to 1914, had been able to "rejoice with those who rejoice," there would have been no world war. If capital and labor could see that their interests are so much in common that they should rejoice and sorrow together, the buytits, lockouts, strikes, arrests, tombing and murders of German soldiers would not be. If the white man and the black man in this country could heed the counsel of the text, all race friction would cease and Old Glory meriting its name, would indeed and in truth wave over the home of the brave.

"HUMAN HEARTS"
Hair Often Ruined By Careless Washing
Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Mulsified coconut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use.
Two or three teaspoonsful of Mulsified is sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fuzzy, wavy, easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified coconut oil shampoo at any drug store; it is inexpensive, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Be sure and ask for "Mulsified."

Jim Crow in a Jim Crow Hospital
NOT SATISFIED with seeing the establishment of a Jim Crow hospital for Negro veterans of the World War at Tuskegee there are those in Alabama who want to see the work under the direction of white physicians and surgeons. Some time ago when the question of personnel first cropped up, President Harding stated that the hospital would be manned from top to bottom by Negroes, and in a recent letter to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People George B. Christian, Jr., Secretary to the President, stated that the chief executive's attitude remained unchanged.
WHY shouldn't a hospital for colored veterans be manned by colored physicians? They are as capable, as honest, as efficient and as interested in the welfare of the war veteran as white physicians. In this particular instance they are more interested in the welfare of the prospective patients of the hospital for it is no secret that white physicians seeking to be chief medical officer have their eyes on the $10,000 per year the position pays.
THE DEVIL can cite scripture and it will not surprise us if some imminent scientist sets out to prove that the white physician can administer to the medicinal needs of the colored man better than the Negro physician, just as they have claimed all along that white southerners know how to treat the Negro politically and socially.
IF IT IS necessary to Jim Crow the Negro physician in a Jim Crow hospital, we don't need the hospital.
Cohen's Nomination
CASES OF NEGROES, those who do not vote, are more than Harding's reappointment to the Comptroller of Customs. They have every reason to be thoroughly capable of imposing upon him as anyone else who might pose the post. In the appointment's fitness and capability to motivate and not one's race or however, this is not always Mr. Cohen, he was opposed to a South not because he is because he is a Republican is a member of the Negro that would oppose his appointee.
NOT KNOW WHAT MOTIVES in renaming Cohen. Wise use of his fitness for the position of importance in the North and in the District that this and other from the Negro vote is a "how new years the placing of the office was all that was a Republican Party the once days are gone forever." learned that while it is nice high office. It does not need opportunity to which he is a Republic.
NOT HARDING has been open and white Republicans with courage in the administration government. Only a few dewdried Republicans passed residency Administration's "deference of the South." Seen from Cohen cannot help but incite two voters for him.
THE MASSES OF NEGROES, those who vote and those who do not vote, are more than pleased with President Harding's reappointment of Walter L. Cohen to be Comptroller of Customs for the New Orleans district. They have every reason to believe that Mr. Cohen is thoroughly capable of discharging the duties imposed upon him as well, if not better, than anyone else who might have been named for the post. In the appointment of public servants one's fitness and capability should be the actuating motive and not one's race or color. Unfortunately, however, this is not always true. In the case of Mr. Cohen, he was opposed by Democrat of the South not because he is inefficient; nor yet because he is a Republican but simply because he is a member of the Negro race. The same element would oppose his appointment if he were a Democrat.
WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT MOTIVE animated the President in renaming Cohen. We trust that it was because of his fitness for the place and that he will have nerve enough to appoint other members of the race to positions of importance in the public service, both in the North and in the South.
THE EFFECT that this and other appointments will have upon the Negro vote is a "horse of another color." A few years ago the placing of one or two colored men in office was all that was needed to hold for the Republican Party the entire colored vote but "those days are gone forever." The colored voter has learned that while it is nice to have colored men in high offices, it does not necessarily give him the opportunity to which he is entitled as a citizen of the Republic.
PRESIDENT HARDING has been openly charged for colored and white Republicans with lacking the necessary courage in the administration of the affairs of the government. Only a few days ago New Jersey's colored Republicans passed resolutions condemning the Administration's "deterence to the whites and wishes of the South." Seem from this light his meaning of Cohen cannot help but increase the respect of Negro voters for him.

THE HARLEM BRANCH of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is out for 15,000 members. It ought to get this number, and more. Why? The effect of the Racism News has already answered this question and the reasons he gives are as true in Harlem as anywhere else.
In a country which benefits of its "democratic" principle, it seems incongruent for certain classes of its citizens to bond together for mutual protection. Such "democratic" principle, however, do not always prevail in America, as any member of the Negro race can truthfully testify, and there must be something
radically wrong when said citizens have to protest against the government for its failure to enforce its own laws. This, however, is the situation that the Negro race in this country has to face, and knowing this, we would do well to face it in as strong a way possible. For this task, we know of no organization which can better present our imminent grievances to the powers that be than the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This organization is more than a dozen years old, yet in all that time it has managed to interest, in the extent of joining, less than 10,000 people from over 200 million. This is lamentable, and the blame rests entirely upon us. Certainly the national office and the various branches have done enough to compel us to see the great need for their work. Our churches, clubs and secret orders boast of their millions of members, yet, all of them put together have not fought as hard to secure for the Negro his rights as the N. A. A. C. P. has done. With our wealth and population, we could, and should, make this one of the strongest in the country, and one that need only make its wants known. It is a gross imposition, then, to have a few thousands stand for the whole race, and it is high time that we make it at least a million strong. We always have to be strong in the country, there is strength in unity. A membership drive now being conducted toward this end, and all who are not members are asked to ally themselves with this organisation and keep the work moving. The work of the N. A. C. P., is highly important, and it has the right, not only to ask, but to demand, our support. Let's not see its efforts vainly spent.

PORO COLLEGE, located in St. Louis, Mo., furnishes a concrete example of what race enterprises mean to us. Started in 1900 in Lovejoy, Ill. by Mrs. Annie M. Pope Turbo-Malone, in a small two-story structure the college now represents an investment in physical property of $750,000, consisting of three buildings. This money has come mostly from the pockets of colored people and a large amount of it is turned back to colored people. There are one hundred and seventy-five employees on its payroll to say nothing of the thousands of young women who make their living selling its products.

Coach King showed the HIGH SPIRIT in allowing the Covington, Ky., baseball team to walk off the field rather than yield to the demand of the visitors that A COLORED BOY he taken from the line-up. This is not the first time that a Kentucky object has been raised to the dark skinned boys of our high school. Last year a Newport football captain objected to the colored boys of the Hamilton eleven and refused to play if they were in the game. It might be well to call off all opposing receptions with Covington and Newport since they are so funny about the color line. The colored lads inside our team and the other boys and if they can "make the grade" to a place, on a baseball nine or a football eleven they are entitled to every consideration. Coach King is warranted in sticking to his colored boys. If any visiting team object let them go back home. The colored lads who have given their best to the Hamilton teams are "WRITE" BENEATH TIMEIR SKIN.

THE court-room in Norton lle was packed to hear the sensational Bruce murder case. It was a beautiful June day, the air was fragrant with blossoms, and the children were playing joyously on the green lawn under the trees near by.
Confident that he would be acquitted John's friends had made every effort to keep the news from his mother. But in vain. She had heard, and insisted on coming to Nortonville to be near her son. The colored people of the town had rallied to John's support and Henry Cat rington, a noted colored lawyer from Boston, had been employed by them to defend him.
The first witness called was Prof. Bruce. In a calm, solemn voice he told, partly of his own accord, partly under cross-examination, of his visit to the theatre, his return with Mrs. Bruce, of his hearing the fatal shot, of seeing John Walton running from the scene, and of the rifted examination papers. The implication of the professor's evidence was that John had come to rob the examination papers, that he had been surprised by Mrs. Bruce, and had killed her.
"Now, Prof. Bruce," cross-maimed Attorney Carrington sharply, "do you know any reason why the defendant should wish to rob the papers?" "He was one of the contestants," replied Prof. Bruce confidently.
"Very well. How many contestants were there beside Mr. Walton?"
"Fifteen."
"Would you say then that those other fourteen competitors also wished to rob the papers? There's Mr. Breckenridge, for instance, would you for a moment insinuate that he would wish to rob the papers simply because he was one of the contestants?"
"Decided not. But Mr. Walton was the only contestant who knew the papers were at my home."
"That is so far, as you know?"
"So far as I know," corrected Prof. Bruce.
"Now, Prof. Bruce, speak truly, and tell the jury, wasn't Mr. Walton the prospective winner of the prize? That is, did it hold the highest average?"
"Yes."
"What was Mr. Walton's average of Bruce?"
"89.9."
"What was the next highest?"
"86.4."
"Don't you think it highly improbable then that he should wish to rob the papers under those circumstances?"
"It seems so, but the fact remains that he was the only one who knew the papers were there, and you will admit, he was a much interested party."
"You thought that in spite of the lead he just couldn't refuse the knife to steal, when he knew the papers were there unprotected, isn't that so, Prof. Bruce?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
Prof Bruce hesitated an instant and replied: "Because of his race."
"I move that that be stricken from the records your honor," said Attorney Carrington. He continued eloquently: "There is no evidence, whatever, so prove that members of the Negro race are more given to stealing than other people. We are informed by the most reliable travellers that in above points of evidence that bolts and bars are unknown. On the other hand, how long do you think, any civilized country would last without its locks, keys, and safety valves? Aren't all these proof positive, to say the least, that other races are given to stealing? Would civilized man need to have the command. "Thou shall not steal" preached to him, century after century year out year out, from time immemorial, if he wasn't given to stealing." "Biflare it out," commanded the judge. He added. "But, remember, counselor, you invited the question."
"That's what I did," whispered and Carrington to John, who is prejudiced and I wanted to show him up.
"How long had Mr. Walton been working for you? Attorney Carrington continued his cross-examination.
"Eight months."
"And he had the key to your home and could enter whether you or Mr. Bruce were at, home or not."
"Yes."
"And during that eight months did you miss anything that you could attribute to him."
"Nothing."
"Thank you. That's all."
Herbert McLean was next called to the stand. He corroborated the testimony of Prof. Bruce as to the ending of the body. He told also how he had been attracted to the spot by hearing the shot and the scream as he was passing the Bruce home, and how he had met Prof. Bruce as the latter was running up the stairs.
McLean proved to be a very nervous witness. He trembled as if he had the St. Vitus dance and had to be helped off the stand.
"This is the first time I ever testified in court," he had explained.

The announcement created a great stir in court.
"I also made an examination of the body," the lieutenant continued. He drew out his notebook, took from it a small envelope of transparent paper and said: "and clutched in her fingers I found these hairs which under microscropical test are found to be exactly like those now on the prisoner's head."
Yet greater commotion in court. "He's guilty! It's her!" whispered the spectators one to another as the attendants quieted them.
Lucille felt her head swim, but she summoned, all her courage to reassure John's mother:
"He will explain all when he gets on the stand" she said confidently, in spite of her fears.
"The detective who had arrested John was next called to the stand.
"Where did you find Mr. Walton?" asked Attorney Carrington.
"On the steps of the Bruce's home."
"Was he coming or going?"
"He was returning to the house."
"Will you tell the jury how you knew it was beet?"
"I had orders to permit no one to enter, and he told me who he was."
"Thank you. That's all."
The Bertillon expert next told how the finger-prints on the examination papers had been tested by him and found to be exactly like those of the prisoner. The hairs found in Mrs. Bruce's fingers had been subjected to every known test, he said, and were also found to correspond with the prisoner's in every detail. His testimony closed the case for the prosecution.
Amid a strained望 the case for the defense began. With a firm and steady step John walked to the stand, and in an unwavering grip he held his hand against many to reverse their opinion of his guilt he told his story:
"After leaving the Bruces," he explained, I went over to my room two doors away and plunged into my studies. After about three and a half hours' work I felt tired and went out to get air. I walked about a mile and then started back home. As I was on the sidewalk in front of where I lived I suddenly heard what sounded like a shot followed immediately by a scream that came from Prof. Bruce's home. I was dashed for the moment, but quickly collecting my thoughts I raced thither. No sooner had I started, then I saw a man of medium height dash down the steps across the street and disappeared around the corner. My first thought was to pursue him but I quickly decided the best thing to do was to inside it and had happened. When I entered Mr. Bruce lying on the floor with the revolver beside her, I soon discovered that she was dead. I then remembered the man I had seen run down the steps. I immediately concluded that he was the murderer and decided to go after him. I picked up the revolver and started to run out when I ran into Prof. Bruce and Mr. McLean."
He told also of the mysterious conversation he had overheard in Mrs. Bruce's room when he first went to work for the family, and of the peculiar manner in which she had been talking with had disheveled her.
"I feel sure," he ascertained, "that that man had something to do with her death. I swear, before God, gentleness that I am innocent. I wouldn't have hurt a hair or not hear for all the world."
"You hear it, mother," assured Lucille, "he's innocent."
"I know it," murmured Mrs. Walton, "my boy would never, never do that. He was always the soul of honesty."
The district attorney questioned Bruce, "Who was Mrs. Bruce was dead when you entered, or you thought she was dead?" "Yes."

"In what position were her hands?"
"They were lying on the floor."
"Did she raise them at any time? They were inert, weren't they?"
"Yes."
"How did she get these hairs from your head then?"
"Those hairs aren't mine. She never touched my head."
"But you've heard what the expert said about the hair being yours."
"There is some mistake. It was impossible for her to get any hair from my head."
"Well what of your finger-prints do you deny that too?"
"No, as I was running out I happened to glance in the direction of the desk and saw that the papers had been broken into."
"And you took them up?"
"Just for a moment."
"Why?"
"I thought I saw the motive for the murder."
"Do you think that this mysterious man that you spoke of would wish to get ad the paper?"
"I don't know. As I said, I never saw him."
"You said you heard the voice of this mysterious man clearly?"
"Yes."
"What did he say."
"He said 'Think what your husband and your society friends would do if they knew of this?' He seemed to be demanding something from her."
"Would you say by his voice that he was white or colored" asked the district attorney.
"That is difficult to tell. In the part of the South that I came from it is often impossible to tell whether it is white or colored who is speaking. I have often guessed wrongly as to the color when I did not see the person speaking. I have noticed the same thing with regard to white and colored in the North. Environment tends to make all people, regardless of race, similar in accent, as well as in other things."
"Well you formed some impression about the race of this mysterious man didn't you."
"Yes, I fancied that he was a white white man of some culture. This impression may be due to the fact that I couldn't fancy its being a colored man."
"The hair found in Mrs. Bruce's fingers were from a colored man, is there another colored man competing. for the prize?" asked the district attorney.
"None that I am aware of."
"Did you communicate with anyone, between the time you left the Bruce's and the time you shot Mrs. Bruce."
"I didn't shoot her," replied John quietly as his attorney objected to the question.
"Can you bring anyone to prove that you had been in your room all the time, you claim you were?" "No."
"Didn't you meet anyone on your walk that you knew?" "I passed several persons. They may have recognized me, but I didn't recognize any of them." "And you say you walked a mile?" "Yes."
"You know a good many people in that section of the town don't you?" "Yes."
"That's all—Walt. One question more. isn't it a fact that you were counting on the $1500 cash from the prize to get married?"
"I object," shouted Atty. Carrington. The judge sustained the objection.
The case closed. Attorney Carrington was about to begin his summing up when something dramatic occurred. Lucille had been listening feverishly for John to tell of the attempts to bribe him. Intuitively she felt that had John not refused the bribe Mrs. Bruce would not have been shot. But she had listened in for John to say this in vain. Now unable to keep silent any longer she rose in her seat and begged to be allowed to testify.
"There is one fact that hasn't been brought out," she cried excitedly. "He refused a bribe of $1,000 to stay away from the examination. And there sits the man who offered it to him."
"It's a lie! a lie!" aboutted Philip, springing to his feet. He was extraordinarily pale.

Race Well Represented at National Conference of Social Work
THE National Conference of Social Work met for eight days from Wednesday, May 16th, to Wednesday, May 23rd, in Washington. The conference was attended by more than a thousand delegates were in attendance, among them many prominent colored social workers from many sections throughout the country.
It is in the care and attention of the delicate nervous system and brain, that most parents fail, through neglect or ignorance, resulting in an impetuous, impulsive, over-emotional child, or one reticent, dull and obstinate. These are the children most people call unruly, but medical science calls them neurotic.
These children need proper care and treatment, and if their neurotic impulses are restrained, guided, or curbed, they will grow into normal adolescence, with pleasing and happy personalities. There are two types of neurotic children. First, the unrestrained, emotional type, who are the impetuous, overwilful, superstitious, unlucky and overworried child; the second type is the restrained emotional child, characterized by being reticent, obstinate, dull and overconscious. Most of the naughtiness, disobedience and temper of children may be found in characteristics peculiar to one of these types of emotionalism.
Parents, therefore, should watch carefully the child, in order to mould its growing personality by proper restraint, advice and punishment. Notice if your child is not behaving well if it fails persistently to devote its time to the accomplishment of a particular work or duty. If it

Mrs. McDougain in her adress said, "No matter how white America may estimate him, the Negro knows that he has contributed sufficiently toward the building up of this country to warrant his claiming a respected place in the nation. Still more than that, he feels he is a factor in the work of the world. He has reason to be proud of the fact that, in making these contributions, he has benefited other groups in the nation even more than he has benefited himself. He is one of the most successful life of the Negro in the North is not complete if only industrial lines are included. In that section, Negroes are following almost as many vocations as are the whites. The numbers in any of the skilled callings are perhaps unduly small. The variety is nevertheless great.
"They hold not only positions soldom associated with Negroes but also attain distinction for the character of the work done. One would hardly think of a white monthly magazine or national circulation having as the head of its new service, a colored woman who rose in the organization from the position of stenographer. Nor, that one of New York's largest department stores employs Negro saleswomen, one of whom is head of stock in her department.
"One would hardly think that a bevy New York host office station would know as to the immensely important a colored man who rose from junior clerk, and now has a force of 28 men under him. Would one usually think of a Negro as being the assistant manager in one of the stores? Or stores of a drug condiment?

There must be persistent correction in these outbursts of unrestrained emotionalisms. Do not say the child is nervous, and make no effort to correct the condition. Nervousness depends upon emotional inability, lack of inhibition, absence of will, enslavement to impulse. Parents, therefore, should try to strengthen the will, and dehythmic its impetuosity. This can only be partly helped in the school room; the larger training and treatment must be accomplished at home. Parents should not ways try, to make life pathway of the child's business" of overcoming obstacles and the moral grandeur of overcouncing temptation. Teach him the truth. In this way the child will overcome its restrained or unrestrained emotionalism and be made strong to overcome evil. Persistently perform the assigned work or duty and develop self-control. Remember the children of today will be the men and women of tomorrow.

In Memory of Col. Young
BORN. Oh doughty warrior, on America's richest soil.
Life was one grand triumph or study, struggle, pain and toll;
But great America, sable triumph, ever did disdain
So unrewarded wust thou sent to fight beyond the main.
Far from the healthful breezes of thine own dear, native land,
Thou didst battle long and hard, didst make a vallant stand
'Gainst man and tropic fever through the jungle far and wide;
But pale, stern death the victor was and swept thee with the tide.
For thee no more the bugle call, no more the reveller.
Stack arms! Stack armst then doosht one—the taps for aye and aye;
Thy duty done, thy well-spent life, whatever may betide.
Has earned the Nation's gratitude, a love that will abide.
Why seek thy virtues to exil, or
honor do thy name!
"Tis on Time's honor roll, recorded
in the book of fame.
The one so base as not to mourn
the loss of men like thee.
Is not worthy of Freedom's cause
or life among the free.
The grave has freed thee, soldier
true, from this bourne of time
and place.
Beyond the shady vale there's not
seet, nor creed, nor race.
Gone, "sylvan holds to see, celestial spheres to roam.
To receive that joyous plaudit,
"Welcome, soldier! Welcome,
home."
To thees what pleasure it must be,
to meet thy comrade fair.
From San Juan and El Caney and
battles "Over there"
They welcome thee, then warrior
bold, and haste to call thee
blest.
For they didst fight a noble fight
didst stand the acid test.
Rest thee. Africa's gallant son, bravest of the brave!
Hasan not fathomed life's mystery—the one beyond the grave.
