FELL FROM CAR; JURY AWARD$15000
Expert Testimony of Two Colored Physicians Wins in Face of That Given By Six White Specialists For Company.
Fifteen thousand dollars has just been awarded Miss Matilda Medford, 262 West 44th Street, by a jury sitting in the Supreme Court, with Judge Black presiding, as the result of an accident sustained while riding on a surface car last June of the Southern Boulevard Railway.
On that date Miss Medford, while on her way to work on a Southern Boulevard surface car, was severely injured as she stepped from the car at 172nd street and Southern Boulevard. She had signalled the car to stop, but the car started before she alighted. On account of the swinging of the car she lost her balance and fell from the running board. She was taken to Lincoln Hospital, where she remained six days.
After medical and X-ray examinations she left the hospital and was declared to be in good condition. Dr. P. M. H. Savory, 244 W. 131st street, was called in attendance. He made a diagnosis and found that the young woman's skull had been fractured, with minor injuries to her arms and legs.
The case was then referred to Dr. C. B. Powell, an X-ray specialist, who has his laboratories at 2373 Seventh avenue, who confirmed Dr. Savory's diagnosis by an X-ray examination.
The case was given preference by Justice Delahay and was tried in December, 1922, but the jury disagreed. It was called again on May 17, 1923, before Justice Wagner. On the 21st of May it was tried again before Judge Black of the Supreme Court. Miss Medford was represented by Lawyer Samuel Robinson of 205 Broadway. The trial lasted for two days and in spite of the evidence offered by six of the leading X-ray and other specialists for the company against the evidence of Dr. Powell and Savory, the trial culminated in a verdict of $15,000.
ALLEGED BURGLAR
DIES IN HOSPITAL
Shot last Friday by Patrolman James J. Bullivan, of the East 129th street station, who it is alleged caught him trying to force an entry to a store at 41 East 133rd street, Louis Miller no address, died Monday in Harlem Hospital. Bullivan was pursuing Miller up a fire escape, according to the police, when Miller who held a shining object in his hand, told him it would mean death for the patrolman to follow further. The patrolman drew his revolver and shot him in the abdomen. The shining object proved to be a pair of pilers.
William Davidson, 71, 170 East 129th street, became seriously ill at his residence and was removed to Harlem Hospital.

Harry Wilson Killed At Deadly Corner
Harry Wilson, aged 41, of 248 West 17th Street, was struck and fatally injured by an auto at Seventh Avenue and 135th Street Sunday night. The driver of the car escaped. Patrolman Smith of the 33th Police Precinct, summoned an ambulance and sent the driver to the hospital where he died.
Auto Joy Riders In Serious Accident
Four Men and Three White Women in Car Injured.
Three white women and four colored men riding in a touring car early Friday morning after a night at a roadhouse were injured, three of them perhaps fatally, when their car side-swiped an "L" pillar at 205th Street and Jerome Avenue, turned over, righted itself momentarily and crashed through a billboard and down an embankment into a vacant lot.
Those who are still in Fordham Hospital are Charles E. Smith, chauffeur, No. 187 West 141st Street, fractured skull; Gardner, restaurant keeper, No. 8 East 121st Street, fractured skull; Miss Mollie O'Keefe, telephone operator, 125th Street and Park Avenue, dislocation of neck, broken wrist and possible internal injuries.
William S. Green, No. 32 East 112th Street, and Robert Hale, No. 6 East 121st Street, went home after being treated at the hospital.
Two white women, whose names have not been learned, were placed in a taxicab which started for the hospital but did not get there. It is believed these women sought medical attention elsewhere—where they could avoid publicity.
The police say the four men and the three women spent several hours at the Dash-In roadhouse, 214th Street and Jerome Avenue, leaving there about 6 o'clock. Smith was driving. Most of the passengers were thrown out as the car struck the pillar, but Smith stuck until the car stopped in the vacant lot.

Mayor Hylan was introduced by Col. Arthur Little, commander of the regiment, who praised the work done by Col. Little and Col.

MOTON IN HOSPITAL SCANDAL
MOTON IN HOSPITAL SCANDAL
James E. Walker Post of American Legion Indignant Over Actions of Tuskegee's Head.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 28. A scandal of increasing proportions is beginning to attach itself to Principal Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee, as persistent rumors spread in Washington concerning his part in the Tuskegee Veterans' Hospital controversy. When the organization of the hospital was first discussed, it was announced that colored physicians and nurses would be employed. This announcement aroused both bitter opposition among southern whites that it was then decided to place a white staff in charge of the hospital and give colored men and women a few minor appointments.
This plan also, however, created such a future among colored voters and politicians, that the entire question was reopened again, with the result that the President is said to have announced, that all whites would be removed from the Tuskegee Hospital, and it would be operated by an entire cadre of personnel. The plan also personal objections to Principal Moson by Southerners.
The James E. Walker Post of the American Legion of the District of Columbia has been making an investigation to find out what influences are back of the move to prevent a colored personnel from being placed in charge of the hospital at Tuskegee. Ala. The post has been backing Dr. T. E. Jones, a World War veteran, as superintendent, and other influential men for the other positions at the hospital. In this effort the post has had the backing of the Henry Lincoln Johnson-Perry Howard-William Matthews political machine, which has been working to control the patronage of the hospital.
To upset the Johnson-Howard Matthews political machine, Major Moton called upon colored physicians who are officers of the colored medical association. These officers have had several conferences with the President and the representatives of the Veterans' Bureau. When the matter got to the acute stage where the President was won over completely to a colored personnel program, there appeared in Washington a committee from Taskegren composed of white men to protest against having colored men in charge of the hospital.
The real cat came out of the bag when the Tuskegee committee met at the office of the Veterans' Bureau. The committee insisted that Major Moton was willing to accept a white personnel while the Veterans' Bureau had been informed that he was standing out for a colored personnel. It is said that the committee of four from Tuskegee insisted that the Tuskegee principal be called on the long distance telephone and asked to declare unequivocally his position. When this was done, the major found himself face to face with his declaration to the Veterans' Bureau and his white committee which came from Tuskegee. The members of the James E. Walker Post are indignant over the turn of events and the way they have been practically "sold out."

Breaks Up Jim-
Crow in Hospital
Alderman Harris Forces the Bellevue Officials to Abolish Separate Nurse Training School.
Practically giving the lie to published news stories that there is no discrimination in Bellevue and Allied Hospitals. Dr. John J. McGrath, president of the board of directors admitted at a hearing before Commissioner of Accounts Hirschfield last Monday that if he had anything to do with the board of directors last August, the Jim crow brochure on the Harlem School of Nursing would not have been sent out.
Dr. McGrath was referring to a booklet in which it was stated that "young women of the colored race who are desirous of becoming professional nurses", may receive instruction at Harlem Hospital.
Commissioners Hirschfield stated that the Bellevue officials had no authority to make such a statement. Alderman Ged. W. Harris, spokesman for the delegation which brought about the investigation, stated that the citizens of Harlem were deterred by such a statement and that it should be repudiated.
"The court is with you, so you win your case", said the commissioner. Dr. McGrath gave assurances that he would abolish every line of racial discrimination in Harlem Hospital.
Other on the committee were: Rev. Dr. Hutchina C. Biahop, Assemblyman Hearl W. Shields, Dr. Allen B. Graves, Dr. Hudson, W. Oliver, Mina Elizabeth Beard, and John N. Hatt

General Sladen of West Point Says He Was Not Singled Out; Du Bois Pays High Tribute to Beloved Friend.
That Col. Charles Young was not singled out and retired on account of his color, was the statement made by Brig. Gen. Fred Winchester Sladen, Commandant of the West Point Military Academy, at the Memorial Services held over the remains of the noted Colonel in the Great Hall of the College of the City of New York, Sunday at noon.
The statement by Gen. Sladen was a direct retort to Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis, and for 28 years a friend and con- duate of the West Point graduates. In his address, which is possibly one of the greatest he has ever made in his public career, Dr. Du Bois said that Col. Young died of a broken heart, caused by the un-

Captain Adrian Richardson, Skipper of Kanawha, Tells in Very Definite Words His Opinion of Black Star Line Head
WITH its more serious aspects covered with a thick mantle of comedy, the case of the Federal Government against Marcus Garvey crawls into its third week. Garvey is indicted for use of the mails to promote the Black Star Line, an alleged fraudulent concern. Mr. Garvey is acting as his own counsel, with the result that there is a situation in the atmosphere about the trial.
five consequences about the trial. I can alter peal of laughter rocks the court at frequent intervals, and Judge Mack, on one occasion, threatened to clear the court if another such outburst occurred. But even the judge himself—grave, serious and patient as he appears to be—cannot help laughing at times. Reporters from all the leading papers throng the court on the lookout for comic copy.
Garvey's conduct of the case brings frequent protest from Asst. U. S. Atty. Mattrucks. "You honor, Mr. Garvey has gone over that point fourteen times already," he will object from time to time. Ku Klux charges, immorality, drunkenness, jealousy over a woman whiskey running, bootlegging, white slavery, marriage to a white woman, fist fights, scuttling a ship in order to get insurance, cricket playing, and other charges, are all introduced into the case by Garvey in an effort to break down the character of the government witnesses. Garvey from time to time will ask the witnesses their "opinion of Garvey," and at each reply the court goes into convulsions. Garvey, however, seems not a bit daunted at this, nor at the frequent over-rulings of his extraneous questions, and always comes back fighting strong. When he warms up to his subject his voice may be heard in the other court rooms.

The prosecution has attempted to prove so far, that Garvey had no intention of getting a ship, that when he was finally forced to do so, he used it mainly as a bait to trap the gullible—one witness said that Garvey allowed a cargo to perish while he took the Yarmouth from port to port in order to exhibit it—and that he deflected the money to his own use, not paying his employees.
White and Colored Men Row Over Woman
Three well-known characters of Harlem, Angelo Binagard, white, better known as "Tubby"; Larry Russell, known as "New Orleans Kid," and Florence Gordy, 245 West, 181st Street, aired their little feud in the Washington Heights Court last week before Magistrate Goodman. "Tubby" who had been held without bail was charged by Russell with Aring five shots at him and by Florence Gordy,
"Tubby," told the magistrate that there was a conspiracy on the part of the complaints "to get him." He declared that it was due to rivalry between him and "New Orleans" over Florence, who used to live with him but later deserted him for "New Orleans." Tubby, who was defended by Atty. Frank W. Stanton, was discharged. All three have criminal records.

Threaten Gov't Witness; Jailed
Garvey Adherent Held in $10,000 Bail and Sent to Prison.
Highlighting the trial of Garvey was the sentencing of one of his followers, Lenilus Charles, a member of the African Legion, to two months' imprisonment by Judge Mack for contempt of court. Charles is also held in $10,000 bail for grand jury action.
Capt. Henry L. Mulzae, 1826 McCullough street. Baltimore, formerly of the Black Star Line, and Sydney Leibourg, government witnesses, testified that Charles threatened to "get" them if they testified against Garvey.
Charles, who wore a tie of the U. N. I. A. colors, pleaded not guilty. He said that he was a porter at the 66th street subway station, that it was his day off, and he had merely come to see how the trial was getting on. He pleaded that Mulzac and DeBourg had taken a dislike to him, that he was a veteran of the war, and had been wounded and caused many times. Judge Mack in passing sentence said: "I can understand the feeling of this man as an earnest partisan, but I can't understand any partisanship affecting the evidence in this court." Attorney Matthews asked that the sentence he made as severe as possible, as there had been many attempts at intimidating witnesses.
The original sentence was six months, Charles pleaded piously. He said that his wife would be confined in four months. In view of this and his war records, Judge Mark reduced the sentence.
Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo
If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and is very harmful. Mulsified coconut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless) is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this cannot possibly injure the hair.
Simply molsten your hair with water and rub it in. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsified will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, lanolin and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified coconut oil shampoo at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and a few ounces will last everyone in the family for months. Be sure and ask for "Mulsified."

With almost a month of the race in the Eastern Colored League now history, the fans are beginning to form their opinion concerning the relative strength of the respective clubs, but it is entirely too early for the wise ones to begin pinning championship honors on the team that they have depot on to cup the pennant, many upsets being certain to occur between the entry months of May and September.
The Hilldale Club, by winning four out of their five league contests, have jumped out in the lead: the Philadelphia club has a well-balanced outfit, with capable reserve strength to plug up any holes that may occur in the line-up due to injuries. The pitching staff appears to be gradually getting into condition and, when Winters, Gardner, Cookrell, Ryan, and Lee continue, along with the great offensive punch that the team has shown to date, it will be a marvel for the other clubs to check their dizzy pace. By graduation, the first game of the season is from the Baltimore Black Sox. Hilldale made their lead in the league a trifle more secure, the dartmorems must now open the three remaining games toust Baden's clan from the top.
The Black Sox have played more games than any of the other league clubs to date, and are dangerously near the leaders. Manager Spedden expects to find a couple more men to strengthen his club for the coming battles, as he feels, that they lost considerable ground when the club was forced to play without the services of a regular catcher. It being unexpectedly called to Cuba.
The Batharchan Glau, will open their new in-ark in Amntle City May bith, but their first league battle to be staged of there will be Sunday, June 3d, with the Hilldale
The Lincoln and Rovals have known that they have fighting ball clubs and will make much trouble for their opponents during the season, while the Cubans have been the only league club to score a win ever Hilldale, and this they did in every decisive manner, blanking the Philadelphia club. 3.0

The game be Hildale in the Baltimore Black Sox in and Eastern Colored League game here today. Hildale winning by the score of 8 to 1, the nine run gathered by Baltimore coming from two errors of Hildale. Nip was in rare form throughout and Baltimore was never in the running, while Hildale punished Doc Sykes, when it meant runs, they having but ten hits and scoring nine runs therefrom.
Bykes started out too well, he retiring the first nine men to face him in order. But in the 4th, Briggs was hit, Warfield went out, when he bunted his third strike. Lloyd then got a double on hit which landed into the newly erected right field bleachers, sending Briggs to third. Thomas was called out on strikes, and Mackey was the recipient of a intentional pass, but George Carr came through with a single to center field, scoring Briggs and Lloyd. In the 6th a combination of a double, three singles, a walk and an error by C. Smith sent three more runs scouring over the plate. Double steel being sandwiched in between

Thousands in Panic As Ball Stand Collapses
Crash Came in Seventh Inning While National League Colored Clubs Were Engaged in Game
(Special to Amsterdam News) .. CHICAGO, May 27.-During an exciting seventh inning of a hot contest between the Chicago and Kansas City clubs of the National Colored League this afternoon a temporary stand containing 1,500 spectators collapsed, dropping two-thirds of the crowd into the wreckage and throwing the 5,000 spectators in the regular stands into a semi-panic.
At first it was feared there was large loss of life and hurry calls brought a score of ambulances from police stations and hospitals. Ambulance and surgical care was, however, required, for only twenty-eight persons, none of whom was seriously injured.
Several hundred suffered minor injuries, but remained to see the resumption of play after the excitement was over. Nearly all of those hurt were colored. The park years ago was the home of the Chicago White Sox.

The fence-busters lost no time starting. Morton, of the Colored Stars, the second man up in the afternoon, knocked out the first. Ferris knocked one in the seventh with Levie on ahead. Right on top of it Peterson, the next batter, slammed out another. Peterson was up twice in the seventh and made a double besides the homer. Peterson and Meara had perfect averages.

The McConnell Colored Giants were beaten 15 to 9. Beaver, playing his first game at second base for Parkville, put up a brilliant exhibition, accepting eight chances and making three hits in more times at bat. Kaney was left off, deprived of extra base blows by exceptional catchers. Kinney also made three hits.

Athletic Meet Planned For Yankee Stadium
Negotiations Opened With European Countries to Have Them Send Representa-
Final arrangements were made yesterday for a mouser athletic meet at Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon, September 6, under the auctions of the Wilco Athletic Association. Negotiations have been carried on for fully three months with athletic organizations in Finland, England, France, Italy, and Sweden in the hope of bringing to this country one or more of the leading athletes of each of these countries to meet America's best at this meet, and when assurances were received that some of these foreign stars would come here, Hugh H. Hirshon, Chairman of the Wilco A. a games committee signed the contract for the use of the Stadium on September 8. In discussing the plans for the meet last night, Chairman Hirshon said:
"Our outdoor meet will be of the usual Wilco standard, and while it has been generally admitted that our indoor meet last February was one of the finest ever conducted, we have high hopes that the coming meet will surpass anything ever attempted in this city. It will be known as the 'Pre-Olympic meet.' All events with one exception will be at Olympic distances. The exception is 'The Record Mile,' which in reality will be two events in one, as a finish line will be placed at 1,500 meters, the Olympic distance, as well as at the finish of the mile.
"For this race Jole Ray, the great middle distance runner of the Illinois A. C. has already agreed to try for the world's record. As competitors we will endeavor to round up the entries of the most prominent middle distance runners in the world, confining the field to about eight starters."
Other specials will be announced from time to time.

Bouts at Commonwealth Friday Night Again Show Up Our Boxing Commis'n
Bill Tate and Tom Cowler to Do Battle and Mr. Muldoon Is Perfectly Satisfied, But Remains Mum on Wills
Down at the Commonwealth Sporting Club on the coming Friday night a set of bouts will be staged that forces one to wonder how the venerable Mr. Muldoon squares his action in the present instance against his stand where a fight between Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey is concerned. The main bout at the Commonwealth will bring together Big Bill Tate and Tom Cowher, the latter an Englishman, who has been considered some pumpkins as a benvyweight in the past. Mr. Muldoon must have given his sanction for this bout to take place, and fight fists, the country ever are wondering why he heists on announcing that Wills will never be allowed to fight Jack Dempsey in New York.
Wills has lived up to every requirement of the Commission, and went so far as to post twenty-five hundred dollars calling for a match with lempsey. This money Mr. Muldoon and his Commission placed on lee immediately, and nothing, except announcements by Jack Kearns every time he secures a ham for Dempsey, has been done to bring the most logical contender for championship honors and the champions together.
The card is offered by the management of the Commonwealth is a big one; in that the semifinal bout is also considered unusual, as Willie Walker, one of the best boys of his weight developed here in some time, will cross bats with Louis Martins of France. Jack McVey, another satisfactory performer, and Jack Tilyon are down for six rounds, while Floyd Murphy and Otto Johnson will box four rounds.
Saxon Says He Has Scaled Mixed Bout Barriers
But Is Silent About Rhodes-Edwards Fight, Due to Take Place in Hamilton Soon
We heard from our friend S. T. Saxon again this week. This time S. T. is telling us how, through his good work, he has succeeded in lifting the mixed-bout barrier in southern Ohio and, for the first time in the history of boxing in that part of the country, he is put in a bout that will bring together a colored and white fighter. The men chosen by S. T. are "Battlemake" W. I. I. ams and "Speedy" Sparks, who will have the honor to appear in the first battle since Mr. Saxon went all the way out West and brought enough influence to the front; he has pulled a George Moor on us.

The only thing that worries us right through here is that S. T. while voluble over what he has recently accomplished, has said nothing about the coming battle between Danny Edwards and Kid Rhodes. Readers of the Amsterdam News will remember that S. T. kept the columns just trying to get this match on, and he even went so far as to charge Danny with being rather luke-warm to face Rhodes. Well, I hope we'll hear about the result.
Carlton's Ball Tossers Win Another Game
Young "Busier" Brown Pitches
Another Shutout, Carlton
Defeating Eastern
District 16-0
The Carlton Y, M. C. A. baseball team made it two straight in the championship race of the Y. M. C. A. Baseball League. Young "Buster" Brown, who last Saturday entered the Hall of Fame by pitching a no-hit, norm game against Central-washed on the mound for Carlton and scored another shutout. Brown mowed the Eastern District batters down steadily and was never in danger; no man reached the far corner and only two got to second. Brown is only a youngster, and throws them from the part side it is his first year in the Y. M. C. A. League, and to date he makesipping batters do that in his career. The Carlton baseball team has several new faces this year, one of them, Thompson, a young outfielder, who can bat with the best of them. In today's game he made four hits out of four times at bat.
While Brown was holding Eastern District safe, Carlton took kindly to the south-paw slants of Tonjes and scored in every inning up to the sixth. Tonjes was sent to the showers in the 64th inning when Carlton scored five runs. Smollins relieved him and Carlton counted one in the sixth. With a 16-run lead and Brown working like a well-oiled machine, the Carlton boys just played safe. Jim Brown, physical director at Carlton, who is coaching the baseball team, is not predicting any championship vet, but he is well pleased with the team's showing to date, and especially with the pitching of young Brown. Next Saturday Carlton will play the Highland Park Branch, at Highland Park, at 3 o'clock. Score, by innings:
Carlton... 1 2 3 4 5 1 0 0 -15

BORDENTOWN'S MEN
TRIUMPH AT HAMPTON
HAMPTON, Va., May 21 — The track team of the Bordentown Industrial School again proved its overwhelming superiority in the field of track athletics when it captured, for the second year in succession, the annual championship track meet, held under the auspices of the Hampton Institute. Bordentown captured every first place, with the exception of the pole vault, which was won by Dorsey of Princess Anne Academy. Watson of Bordentown was the individual high scorer, winning the 100, the 220, and the broad jump.
That the times for the various events was exceedingly good is shown by the fact that the 220 was won in faster time than in the intercollegiate events the same day. The Northern boys returned with two cups and fourteen medals in their possession, convincing proof of the high quality of the training methods employed at the "school on the hill." Princess Anne Academy of Maryland finished second in the point column, with a score of fifteen points, twenty-seven behind Bordentown.

Dramatic Success Returning to the Lafayette Theatre
Colored Artists Will Again Present "Salome" After B'way Engagement
Colored Artists Will Again Present "Salome" After B'way Engagement
"The Chip Woman's Fortune," Which Received So Much Praise Will Also Be the Curtain Raiser Here Next Week.
Announcement was made this rock that the management of the Lafayette Theatre will bring back the colored artists in "Salome" who so recently made a hit at the France Theatre under the management and personal direction of Eugene PNell. The production has met with a great deal of success wherever shown and bringing it back to the Lafayette Theatre the Coleman brothers feel that they are simply living thousands who did not have chance to see it at first will now make advantage of the opportunity. An announcement that will also meet with instant favor by theatrepers in the neighborhood is that "The Chip Woman's Fortune," which has also scored a remarkable hit, will be the curtain raiser. It was though by many that Mr. PNell had planned to change this piece after leaving Broadway but he Richardson playlet will again be presented as at first.
The return of "Sailome" after the many good things said by the metropolitan critics and the fact that the artists in the piece are working even better, than when hey first came here, points to fine houses at the Lafayette next week and those desirous of witnessing he show would do well to secure their seats early.
Valentino Won
His Fame Dancing
Hero of Ingram's "The Four Horsemen" Once Aspired to Be a Farmer
Rodolph Valentino, the celebrated young dancer who has the leading male role in "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," a flex ingram production for Metro, will be shown next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, June 4th, 5th and 6th, at the Franklin Theatre, found his way to fame and fortune through his nimble feet. When you see Mr. Valentino in this screen adaptation of the world-famous novel of Vicente Blasco Ibanez by June Mathias and notice his finished acting, the sure swapper of the cafe scenes laid in the Argentine, the polish of his manner in interpreting the student and lover in Paris, it will be your unquestionable opinion that here is a man instilled in theatrical ways as a child.
But it was neither as a dancer nor an actor that Mr. Valentino hoped to take fortune by storm. It was in the more humble sphere as a prospective agriculturist that he came to the United States, at the age of eighteen, a graduate from the Royal Military College of Agriculture at Genoa, Italy. As he planned his future he would become one of the great land owners in this country of opportunity.
But things happened swiftly for him in New York. Soon he was busy teaching Broadway's regulars his graceful steps. He appeared at Rector's as a dancing partner of Bonnie Glass, following this engagement with one in the Winter Garden and a long term contract in vaudeville.
From dancing to motion pictures was an easy step. His first picture with Mae Murray in "The Big Little Person." When Roy Ingram, in this painstaking search for the type to portray the pleasure-loving South American hero of "The Four Horsemen" saw Valentino, he chose him for the part.
Another Big Reel to Be Shown At the Lincoln
Mighty Lak' a Rose" Is a Melody of Life Played on Heart Strings
Edwin Crawse, the director, has called his newest creation "Mighty Lak' a Rose" a symphony of life in the high and low places. It is an apt description, for its scenes blend like the changing movements of a great symphony. Like a great music master, the director has played on the heart strings, he carries one to the heights with his emotional moment; then, with a swift charge of mood, he laughs creep into the composition.
It is a rhapsody of the city streets played on human hearts instead of violins and brass and woodwinds. This First National picture was warmly received at its premier showing at the Lincoln Theatre yesterday.
The story opens against the drab background of New York's underworld. Here we meet "Bull" Morgan, strengthened ear of a gang of thieves; "Hard Bottle" Molly Majee; "Slippery Eddie" Foster and Jimmy Harrison, his companions. Jimmy is a happy go-lucky young crook, purely a product of environment. A thief because he knows nothing else. In contrast comes Rose Duncan, a beautiful young blind girl, who is a violinist. Through a trick of fate she falls into the hands of "Bull" Morgan, whom she admires ally for

Union University Club Scores Another Success
Select Affair at New Star Casino Ably Managed by President of Club and His Assistants
The "Queen of the May Celebration" given at New Star Casino Tuesday evening, May 22d by the Virginia Union University Club of this city proved another success and those in the club responsible for the clock-like order in which the program was put through are deserving of much praise. The affairs being staged by this club have come to the point where they are looked for by a select number of people in this city, and the air of refinement at the dances staged by Union meet with the demands of the most exacting.
An augmented orchestra furnished the music for the occasion and the presentation of prizes were made by Alderman George W. Harris white Assemblyman Henri Shields acted as escort to the Queen of the May." The winners of the prizes offered by Union were Katherine Watts, first prize; Miss Robinson, second; Edith Weisgerd, third, and Marilion Moore, fourth. Scholarships to Union University and the promotion of keener interest in higher education among Negroes are some of the laudable things which prompts the Union Club to stage affairs of this kind from time to time.

Sees Great Promise in Work of Colored Artists
And Thinks Miss Morton an Outstanding Character Among the Many so Far Produced (From the Harlem Home News) There is no lack of evidence that the colored race is far taking a place of importance in the realm of theater and screen and that they are doing much to stimulate clean, wholesome entertainment of quality. Edna Morton, 105 W. 138th St. one of the outstanding among the many, is here shown in a coastalization she created in the screen production "Secret Sorrow."
Miss Morton's career as a motion picture actress was launched back in 1914 with Hunter Haynes, the colored director. Her first real opportunity came in 1921 when she joined forces with the Real Moving Picture Corp. She played an important role in this firm's first production. "The Call of His People." Since that time she has played many and divers character parts ranging in ages from 12 to 60 years. She is still a very young woman. Her latest achievement is an important part in the Thomas Meghan picture. "The Neer Do Well."

Boxing has long been the sport of kings. Almost rallied at one time by vice and politics, its flavor has again been sweetened until it is fast becoming recognized as one of the cleanest sports with an international following. Especially is this true in America.
Prince fighting has always carried the banner lines of the sporting pages. A world's championship bout has almost as great an appeal to public interest as a presidential election. Yet there has been a sad shaking of the bonds of the most ardent followers of the box-fighting game.
"Framed" fights, intrigue, dirty politics—all had their part in casting a shadow over the manly art. The public lost interest. The promoters moaned, and went into bankruptcy. The fighter that had been the happiest broad winners shouted for help. But their feed-bass were gone.
"The game is rotten," roared the public.
"Show us a square fight and we'll put you back in the sport columns" said the lads on the newspapers.

Dull gloom—but then—
A new era. The thing's revived.
Through the efforts of the American Lexton and other organizations who have championed boxing, the fight game is again taking its place at the head of the sporting world.
Nothing has so clearly demonstrated this as the showing of the Universal-Jewel special production of Jack London's powerful novel of the squared circle, "The Abymal Brute," which is to be shown at the Roosvelt theatre for four days starting Sunday, June 3rd. Reginald Denny as the star in this production gives the public a four-square interpretation of the cleanest type of a young American whose profession is prize fighting.
The picture was directed by Robert Henley, who recently directed Booth Tarkington's "The Flirt."
Denny is supported by an all-star cast and Henley's direction has placed before the motion picture public a vivid portrayal of the revived boxing that holds the greatest appeal in the sporting world.

OF THE SCREEN'S GREATEST ACTIONS
LONDON
By Mabel Rowland. Published by The English Crafters, 12 West 69th Street, New York City.
In these days, when publicity must be done quickly if it be done at all, one understands the reason for this hastily flung together book. It is called "a symposium of tribute," and is a hodgepodge of biography, anecdote and praise. But hastily conceived as it is, it gives us a picture not soon to be forgotten of a gentle, kindly man, never given to dispute, modest, retiring, whin by his genius brought laughter, the happiness of the moment, to millions of his fellow men. A West Indian of gentle heritage, a reader and collector of rare books, an accomplished musician, Bert Williams became the best portrayer of the shillttess, down South "darkey" that the world has ever seen. An ordinary man can be tragédian, but it takes a man of large culture to be a great comedian.
Like most artists, Williams had his initiation in poverty and failure. This, however, did not last long and, with George Walker as his colleague, he soon achieved success. In 1903 he was in London playing before King Edward VII and winning admiration and patronage. He was frequently entertained by the King and we are given a delightful picture of how he taught that monarch the game of craps. Williams and Walker introduced the cake-walk and "all fashionable London was cake-walking and doing buck wing and shuffle step." This was during the "In Dahomey Days"; then came "Abysinia," and last, "Bandanna Lundi," when "Bon Bon Buddy" was the most popular song of the Winter. Later the Bert Williams of "The Follies" was often very amusing, but he never had such interesting work as with Walker, when Jesse Ship directed, Alex Rogers wrote lyrics and Will Marlon Cocko gave his incomparable music.
Miss Rowland occupies a considerable portion of her book with appreciations. I quote two of them.
W. C. Fields said of him: "Bert Williams was the funniest man I ever saw and the saddest man I ever knew. I often wondered whether other people sensed what I did in him—that undercurrent of paths." And this from George Cohn: "Bert Williams was a fine
THE MOST TALKED OF DRAMATIC SENSATION OF THE SEASON WITH THE GREATEST COLORED CAST EVER ASSEMBLED
follow, a great artist and a true friend—I know of no man in the theatrical profession who was more slightly respected or better liked. I never heard Bert say an unkind word about any man or woman and by the same token I never heard any man or woman say an unkind word of him. I was proud of his friendship. What finer tribute can one man pay another? We learn in this volume that we lost the chance of seeing Williams
Theatre
In the moving picture, where we might still watch the smile slowly light up or his melancholy face, because, after it was planned that he should appear in some of, giving Cobb's stories, the releasing agencies were unanimous in the decision that the Southern territory would resent and would not exhibit the pictures of a Negro star. This was in "The Birth of the Nation" 'days, when Griffith was preparing the way for the Ku Klux Klan of to-day. Well, Williams was a philosopher and loved to ponder Aristotle's question which we, too, may take to heart. "Is there any such happiness as for a man's mind to be raised above the confusion of things where he may have the prospect of the order of nature and the order of man?"
His wife speaks of his beautiful hands. It was always a grief to her not only that he must fireburn cork, but that his hands, whose beauty had led an English sculptor to model them, must be covered with grotesque gloves.

WITNESS CALLS GARVEY GOOD ORATOR BUT HIGHWAY ROBBER
(Continued from First Page)
did not go—there were some 600 people or the pler who had come to see it off—and Mr. Garvey pleased with me and I finally consented to let it go as far as 250 Street. It it was then at the 135th Street pler."
Under cross-examination by Garvey, Healy said that Garvey was no anxious to get the Yarmouth that he would have paid $200,000 for it.
Garvey: Isn't it a fact that Harrison, McGill & Co. did everything they could to influence the purchase of the Yarmouth, Mr. Healy? Healy: No, they were not an anxious know you'd have paid $200,000, you were so anxious to get the boat.
Q. Do you know of any reason why Garvey wanted a ship?
A. I heard that Killie was forcing him to buy one.
Q. When you negotiated a contract for $165,000, did you believe the ship was worth it?
A. I did not. Mr. Harris (the president of the North American Steamship Co.) told me Garvey had plenty of money—that you had 6,000,000 Negroes and that you were going to collect a dollar a head from every Negro in the world, and that he was out to get as much as he could out of the deal.
Under continued cross-examination Leahy persisted in declaring that Garvey was much more anxious to buy than his clients were to sell.
The witness, when asked by Garvey regarding his personal opinion of Garvey, said that the latter had impressed him so much "that it almost made me feel that I wanted to buy some stock."
Q. At what time were you so impressed to buy stock?
A. The first time I met you. I also read your speeches. You really impress me. You impress me even now. I have read many civil things about you, but, to be candid, I don't believe half of them, even now.
Healy went on to tell Smith Green had told him that "Garvey was taking money from poor people in Harlem, that he was a faker and a four-fusher."
Healy said that he was so much worried about collecting the money from the Black Star Line that "it made his heart best fast."
Q. So you did not know where the boat was?
A. You bet we did. We know where it was every minute of the day, for we were afraid you'd sink it.
You went on to tell how colorful people used to flood his office to inquire about the ship and how they were under the impression that the boat belonged at that time to the Black Star Line.
Q. Were they friends or enemies?
A. Friends at first, later enemies.
Healy told of his sympathy for the people who had invested their money.
"When did you begin to have sympathy for the colored people?" saked Garvey.
A. That he is a member of it.
Q. Do you really believe that?
A. Well. I'd like to qualify that.
Mr. Garvey; I don't think you're a friend of the colored people, and neither is the Klan
Q. Why are you against Garvey?
A. Because I believe he made millions that he has not turned in.
Q. So you believe Garvey is a bad fellow
A. Yes, in a sense.
Atty Mattucksk: You know Mr. Garvey had a conference with the Klan, Healy? A. Yes.
Healy also told of the second trip of the Yarmouth with a cargo of whiskey for Havana, and how most of the crew had left. New York drunk. "When the radio came 'S.O.S. We are sinking. I at once thought it might read, 'Souse. We are drinking.' The crew took to the lifeboats with a bottle of champagne in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other."
Much of Healy's evidence against Garvey was brought out by Garvey's prodding. One of the questions Garvey asked him was, "Is your brother a colored man?" The gist of Healy's evidence was that Garvey had been after his brother forced to do so by Kilroo solely for propaganda purposes, and to use it as a bait to sell stock.
Captain of the Yarmouth.
Captain of the Farmouth.
The testimony of Capt Joshua Cockburn, master of the Yarmouth, was to the effect that the Yarmouth had been purchased only because Klitto was after Garvey, Garvey, he said, had them subordinated its real use to exhibition purposes in order to sell stock. The boat, he said, was a cargo boat. "The time Garvey took her she had a cargo of coal, and Garvey knew it." Cockburn said that Garvey had asked him to look over the boat, and that he had told him "it was all right," but that "it was unt to carry passengers." He also said that he told Garvey that he might get his number to examine the engines and the hull, but that Garvey had overruled him in both instances.
On the first trip to the West Island with 18 passengers and a general cargo, the ship broke down and had to make for the Bahamas, said Cockburn. Litter she had to make repairs at each sort for boilers. The Yarmouth. Replaced, and at no time allowance for transhipment passengers or to go to the authorities advertisements to the船.
PAGE SIX
A. I did not.
A Yes, in a sense.
"On the second trip of the Yarmouth, no repair were made," he said, and we broke down off Cape May. "I told you also, Mr. Garvey, that the Yarmouth was no ship to carry the cargo of whiskey, because there was no line between the hunker, and the drow could get access to the liquor, but you overcooked me, as you said the trip would bring publicity." According to Capt. Cookburn, the ship was taken to various ports in the West Indies and Central America in order to exhibit it to prospective stockholders. On one return trip, the ship was bound for New York, but he bound for coconuts, but Garvey made him put in at Philadelphia. From Philadelphia he was ordered direct to Boston, during which time his New York cargo was "perishing."
Cross-examined by Garvey, Cookburn said that he was a captain in the British maritime service, having served on the West Coast of Africa, and that he had been attracted to Garvey "because he was in trouble."
Q. In trouble?
A. Yes. You were very much down at that time.
B. Ragged, or poor, or what?
A. Yes, you were very poor at that time. You invited me to come to the direcort's meeting.
Q. What do you mean by you?
A. Well, you were the Black Star Line.
Q. You heard of nobody else but Marcus Garvey?
A. I didn't know of anybody else but Garvey who was reigning in Harlem.
Garvey tried to bring out charges of immorality against Cockburn, but he was over-rulled, Judge Mack saying that Cockburn wasn't on trial for that.
Q. Did you offer to loan Miss Ashwood money?
A. No. You were jealous of her and loaned the money instead.
Q. Are you married to a white lady?
Q. Have you a ship outside the three-mile limit?
A. No.
Posed in Uniform.
Cockburn went on to tell how he had to pose "in a uniform at Liberty Hall to make the people see bins. while Garvey made big speeches to sell stock." He said that he and four others had got a commission of $1,600 each over the purchase of the ships, and that he had received $2,000 as a tip from the shippers for safe delivery of the whisky.
Q. Were you dismissed from the Black Star Line because of misconduct over the whisky?
Q. Did you ever have a dispute with the Black Star Line?
A. Yes. when you refused to pay me my wages, and I took you to the British Connul.
Q. Didn't Amy Ashwood try to borrow money from you?
A. Yes. I refused to lend it to her, and you drew a check for $500 and gave it to her.
Cockburn was on the stand for two days. His cross-examination brought repeated protests from Assistant District Attorney Mattucks. Mr. Garvey has a perfect right to conduct his own case, ruled Judge Mack. The only thing, he said, that he could do was to overrule irrelevant questioning.
At one juncture Garvey protested that his case was being "ruined"
Judge Mack: Let me correct that. I am allowing Mr. Garvey and the other defendants more latitude than any other case in my 20 years on the bench. The rule of the court is cross-examination immediately after direct examination.
Jacob Wise, white, captain of the Shadyside, an excoxion boat that ran up the Hudson for a brief period, said the receipts of the boat did not cover the expenses for coal. "I told Mr. Garvey once twice that the boat was losing money, but he said he couldn't help it." Garvey said, had treated him and that he was always after the impression that he was in the employ of the Black Star Idea, and not Garvey.
Adrian Richardson, who served as captain of the Kanawha, said that he met Garvey while the latter was on a propaganda tour, and that he served him free for a time in order "to help his people." He said that when Garvey was negotiating for the Kanawha, Garvey naked him to look over the boat and give his opinion. "I told you, Mr. Garvey, he said, "that if you listen to me, you'll leave that boat alone. She's not fit for service. She'll eat up more than she's worth. H. H. Rogers had millions to run that boat. You haven't. I told him that her boilers and accelerators were no good; but he wouldn't listen to me, and the next day paid $65,000 for her. He then asked me to take charge, but I told him my captain's license was no good and to put the matter off." He said that he stayed on the boat, however, with a white captain in charge. "She was then brought to 1838 Street pier for repairs, with the Black Star Line flag flying so that the people could see her. Garvey was not green on them, so could make a rope rope." In the morning he could see "handbills advertising the R. S. Antonio Macon. The name of the Kanawha was never legally changed. I asked Garvey about it and he said he was going to make money. There was music on the sax, but no dancing."
Richardson said that he had advised Carvey to put the ship in dry dock, but Carvey had over ruled him, with the result that it broke down on the river for extinction purposes. "It knew down by

On the first trip to Havana, with seven or eight passengers, most of them propagandists, the boat broke down and got only as far as the Delaware River. Most of the time the boat was under repairs, he said, and broke down on every trip it started on. On several occasions the Kanawas had to make port under sail, bed-sheets being used for the purpose
to the loud laughter of the court Garvey to the witness: Why it you emphasize Garvey, Garvey Garvey? A. Because while he was around he wanted to run everything. There are about 120 witness on both sides yet to be examine and great piles of account book newspapers and other documents to be submitted in evidence. Mr Garvey continues as his or attorney, the case will easily be twice as long as one of his copy
The vessel, he said, carried few passengers and little cargo. Most of the passengers were propagandists and stock salesmen for the Black Star Line. Garvey, he said, bad on one occasion asked him to sign him on an purser, because of Garvey's trouble in getting back to the United States, which he did.
Gives Opinion of Garvey.
Capt. Richardson went on to tell how he left the ship at Kingston, Jamaica, because "Mr. Garvey wanted to run everybody and everything."
Garvey: And what is your opinion of Garvey?
A. All I know of Garvey is that he lives a high life himself and keeps others down. You and Miss Jacques wanted to rob the men. You're a fine specimen of a man trying to help the race.
Q. Marcus Garvey robbed the people?
A. I have said that you, Marcus Garvey, have been robbing the people. One of the crew died of pneumonia, and, because he was two months' back in his dues, you refused to help. I begged for a collection in order to give him decent butt and you refused. "Q. No that's your opinion of Garvey? A. That's my opinion of you You are a good orator, a poor busiest man, and a highway robber
judge Mack told Garvey to face the witness, and not the reporters. Spelling Test for Captain. Garvey: Capt. Richardson. you use the word propaganda. Where did you first see that word? Judge Mack overruled the question, amid the laughter of the spectators. Garvey: Can you spell the word? This, too, was overruled. "Spell it tur him. Marcus," yelled an excited lady in the corridor. Q. Did you ever attack Marcuas Grace? A. Yes. I fired after him several times. Q. Fired at him several times? A. Yes, with my fast. We had a first fight over my salary of $330 a month, which I never received. Witness also said he had advanced thousands of dollars to pay the expenses of the ship. Q. Do you know what Miss Amy Jacques was? A. She used to run the office. I called her Marcus Garvey's princess, an everyone used to.
Judge Mack: Now, for heaven's sake, let us get on.
Garvey: What is your present feeling toward Marcus Garvey?
A My present feeling is that if I ever get him by himself I'll beat him or he'll beat me for all that he's done to me.
Q. Do you mean that you'd like to see Mr. Garvey take up his hat and briefcase and walk out of this court a free man, so he could go right up to Harlem and get a much needed rest?
A. Yes. If that means I could get at him myself. I won't touch him while this one is gone.
B. Elides, every time I see you in Harlem you have forty bodyguards of the Black Watch and no one can get a crack at you.
Q. Would you have some one to do for Marcus Garvey what you'd like to do for yourself?
A. No.
Garvey made a motion as if he were going to sit down.
Judice Mack: Are you through with the witness? Let's get another.
"No, poor Homo," said Curver.

to the loud laughter of the court.
Garvey to the witness: Why is it you emphasize Garvey, Garvey, Garvey?
A. Because while he was around he wanted to run everything.
There are about 120 witnesses on both sides yet to be examined, and great piles of account books, newspapers and other documents to be submitted in evidence.
If Mr Garvey continues as his own attorney, the case will easily last as long as one of his conventions.
The prosecution is not having everything its own way, however. Garvey is shrewd, and seems to know his case thoroughly.
Monday one of the government witnesses simply proved meat for him. One of his former office boys, Squire Cargill, nineteen of Roselle, N. J., had testified that he had mailed the circulars offering stock in the Black Star Line. After the lad had identified the circulars from a number handed him by Atty, Mattucks, Garvey began his cross-examination. The boy was suffering from stage fright and under cross-examination showed it even more.
"And who told you to say 1919?" shouted Garvey.
The boy wouldn't speak.
"Speak up." ordered Judge Mack.
"Mr. Mattucks," replied Cargill, sheepish.
The witness went on to admit that he had been coached by the prosecution.
Garvey. How many times did you see Mr. Shay? (post office agent). A. Five times.
Q. You said that you mailed them at 140th St. and 8th Avenue. The College Station is at 140th Street. Who told you what post-office to say?
A. Mr. Shay.
Atty. Mattucks. Did Mr. Shay ask you where you mailed them or tell you where to say?
A. He asked me.
Atty. Mattucks. Why did you change your testimony? Tell the truth.
A. I made a mistake.
A battle of attorneys ensued to find out whether the lad had identified the circulars himself or had been told which to pick out.
Judge Mack. When those circulars were first shown you in the prosecutor's office, did you pick them out for yourself or did Mr. Mattucks pick them out for you?
A. I picked them out for myself.

Southern Baptist Convention May Establish Seminary at Nashville.
(Provion News Service)
(President News Service,
KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 28.) A movement has been started at the meeting on the Southern Baptist Convention here to give the Negroes of the South a seminary. At the second day session of the convention leaders began the consideration of the religious education of the Southern Negroes of the Baptist denomination, which figures evidenced that there were over 3,000,000 Negro Baptists in the South in grave need of religious education and should have a seminary.
O. L. Halley, of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the committee for the establishment of a Negro seminary, asked the delegates to approve the purchase of St. Cecilia Academy, Nashville, Tenn., now a Catholic girls' school. A committee was appointed to report upon the proposal to advance $100,000 as first payment on the academy—the total price of which is $300,000.
"The South owes something to the Negro's loyalty, declared Rev. Ben Cox, of Memphis, Tenn., and "I urge upon you, brethren, the purchase or erection of the seminary. Our religious denomination spent $1 dollar for every Negro in its membership in the South last year, while the Baptists spent less than seven mills."
SAYS PROHIBITION
BENEFITS NEGROES
CHICAGO, Ill. May 28 —According to a statement issued from the headquarters of the N. W. C. T. U. prohibition has done more for the American Negro than anything except freemoon. Recently a survey was conducted by the Union Signal, the official organ of the Temperance Union, in an effort to determine what effect prohibition had upon the Negro of this country. It is reported that the survey brought hundreds of letters and that the most common answer was that next to freedom, prohibition has done more for the Negro than any other legislation or welfare movement.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 28. Under the provisions of a bill approved by the judiciary committee of the state legislature, persons divorced in Illinois may take new names the same day and live with the law of the state. The theory and expiting law to wait for marriage to come one year before marrying again has proved a boomerang against the conventions of society, in the opinion of the committee.

COHEN'S INFAMOUS
STORIES TO BE FILMED
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 28. Financial interests in this industrial center of the South are engaged in the usual Southern industry of belittling the Negro, and have undertaken to sim a series of two-real comedies of Octavus Roy Cohen's distasteful comedy exaggerations of Negro life. These films will be made in Birmingham. The principal parts will be played by some well-known black-face comedians, it is said.
"Service—The Conqueror," presented by the Service League of St. Luke's Mission, May 16th at Star Casino, was an overwhelming success, both artistically and dramatically. The cast deserves great praise.
With regret we mention the failure of the orchestra to supply music as per our contract, which follows: "One Dance Orchestra—10 men, 9 p. t. to 3 a. m., Star Casino, May 16th, 1980," duly signed by Hilly Lewis—leader of the orchestra. At 1.60 a. m. the orchestra refused to continue playing unless the Leagues would pay 3 more per man for the hour from 3-3 a. m. Since this demand was contrary to the contract as stated above, their request was not granted.
The Service League, however, feels deeply indebted to the public for its generous support and hopes that the disappointment in the music will not learn its interest and patronage in the future entertainments.
The above statement is authorized for publication.

"I have watched with interest," he said, "our efforts to solidify the political sentiment and action of your group here, and it might be of interest to you to know that your tenacity of purpose and constructive efforts are fully recognized and appreciated by the leaders of the party.
"The drift here away from the Republican Party, as instanced in the elections of the past two years is spasmodic and due to abnormal conditions in which personalities and not policies have been the major factors, can be overcome and the party brought to victory if there is a merited appreciation of the attitude of our party upon issues that vitally concern the masses.
"Gradually there is a growing thought that increased voice should be granted you in party affairs, and the loyal efforts of this organization have gone to influence that thought. We are members of a party that knows no class or race distinctions, and my appeal to you is advanced in the firm belief that as a loyal element in our population you are as keenly concerned as any in questions of good government.
"In your future operations let it be clearly understood that you will have the cordial support of our leaders, and that in co-operation with them and those whom you have chosen to speak for you, I stand ready to do all within my power."
Former assistant attorney general, Robert S. Conklin, leader of the Zist Assembly District, referred to the movement to institute a system of leadership by which colored Republicans would be represented in the County Executive Committee, and expressed the opinion that progress in this respect was indicative of the fact that political parties could no longer deny the right of the colored electorate to proper political recognition.
Col. Charles W. Fillmore acted as chairman of the meeting, and Hamilton J. Travis responded to the address of Mr. Koenik.

WEEK DAY SERMONETTES
By Dr. H. T. S. JOHNSON
Be Not Weary in Well Doing
"Let us not be wary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap if we faint not." Gal. 8:9.
N recent years the Negro is losing his smile. The disposition grows upon him to think more of his sorrows than of his joys; more of the stumbling blocks to his progress than of the stepping stones to success; more of the people who hinder than of those who help. More and more he forgets the counsel of the good hymn, "Count your blessings, name them one by one."
It seems well therefore that we reflect upon Paul's advice to the Galatians quoted above. We need to study it for the purpose of getting reasons for continued optimism! For be assured that the only people who have made progress in the past, and the only ones who will advance in the future, are those who keep hopeful. Everything depends upon our facing the future with the smile of hope, and the only way to do this is to heed the injunction of the text—"Be not Mary in well doing."
To the Negroes of America this means: Compare the present with the past and see the evidence that the race has done well. And if it has, do not grow bitterly impatient because there are many privileges still desired us. I have lung since decided that the Negro is not being hurt by race prejudice. Unpleasant as it is, it serves as discipline in throwing off slavery's greatest handicap—treachery one toward the other. The stripes on the Negro's back are not the more cruel marks of slavery.
For more cruel are those decisive marks which are manifested in lack of confidence of one Negro in another and in the unwillingness to pull together the good of all concerned. To stand well with "Ole Massa" in the days of glayery, Negroes would betray one another's plans and secrets. This practice for two and a half centuries made disloyalty to his race the Negro's second nature. The seed was so deeply rooted that nothing would develop race consciousness so effectively and speedily as the conditions prevailing in this country since the emancipation. Therefore, instead of losing our smile, let us see in the very injustices which race, prejudice has occasioned, the steps by which we climb to reach solidarity. If we watch our upward march, we shall not "grow, weary in well doing." The text has a promise that should keep us hoping—"For in DUB season we shall reap." In DUB season" this message not

the good hymn, "Count your bless.
when man THINKS so, but when
God KNOWS WE have acquired
enough racial solidarity to make
the splendid history He intends
shall be ours.
That begins the question, what shall that splendid history be? What is the big thing God intends the Negro shall do? In consideration of his traditional optimism and ability to forgive and forget, I am convinced that God made him to teach the world its greatest and most necessary lesson-universal brotherhood. I plead with you, men and women of my race, not to allow the auraling of injuries to so embitter your souls as to unkill the race to perform a work without which this old world shall never be turned right side up and without which the life and ministry of Jesus Christ shall come to naught. "In due season ye shall reep," is the promise upon which we can safely base our hope.
"Why? Because (1) God says so. We cannot look into the history of mankind nor the laws of nature without getting abundant proof that God can and will keep His promises to the children of man. (2) Because seed planted will grow. A recent traveler found seed which had been shutt up in the catacombe of Rome for eighteen centuries. They were planted and to everybody's amusement, germinated and grew into most beautiful foliage and flowers. If natural seed did not lose their vitality in eighteen hundred years, what may we not expect of moral and spiritual seed preserved and magnified by the Holy Spirit?
"If we fail not" is the one condition upon which the realization of this promise depends. If we will continue the habit which has kept us hopeful in the past, we shall not fail. We shall keep our optimism and smile if we continue to recognize that the white man's friendship has made possible all the progress the Negro has made. While it is true the white man on
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 28.—Ordered to leap from a fast moving freight train or "else." William Johnson, of Ensley, elected to take "else" and received two bullet wounds in the face. Johnson was found along the side of the tracks early Tuesday morning by the police with a glancing bullet wound on the forehead and another wound which had partly torn his nose away. He told the police that he was riding into Birmingham on an A. N. freight train when a brakeman came upon him and said: "Here's where I have some fun. N. —, jump or else." Johnson said the train was running too fast for him to jump off it without being killed. He said he pleaded with the man to let him ride until the train stopped and he would get off. Johnson said the man then drew his revolver and shot him before he could even attempt to jump. The police say that Johnson's condition is serious.
C. C. SPAULDING
HEADS N. C. MUTUAL
DURHAM, N. C., May 23—G. C. Spandling, formerly secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, was elected president by the board of directors, at a recent meeting, to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Dr. A. M. Moore.
Mr. Spandling is the only survivor of the three original promoters who organised the company in 1898, the other two being the late John Merrick, the first president, and the late Dr. Moore, who succeeded Merrick.
Other officers selected are: J. M. Avery, first vice-president and secretary; R. L. McDougall, second vice-president; Ed. R. Merrick, elder son of the founder, the late John Merrick, treasurer, and Dr. C. H. Donnall, medical director.
slaved us, it is also true that the white men freed us. If the white man deprived us of education and denied us the ballot, white men also have given us education and the ballot. White men lynch us, but white people, even Southerners, are lifting earnest and determined voices against this national disgrace.
On yes, if we look for them we can find many reasons for the conviction that the Negro need not go to Africa, or Mexico, so anywhere else. On the contrary, we shall be assured that in the United States he shall fulfill liberty if he beads the counsel of our test.
ALABAMA JUDGE PLAYS
CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM
MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 28.—Alabama's convicts are leased according to physical ability, and all who are able-bodied are leased to the mine operators, Judge W. E. Fort of Jefferson County Circuit Court told the State League of Women Voters, in session here last Wednesday night. The men he said, are made to produce a certain amount of coal a day, being watched over by long-term prisoners, who are generally the most hardened criminals. "This sort of inhuman and barbaric method of handling convicts is contrary to the modern ideals of civilization and justice, and should be abandoned," he declared.
DRY ACT BIGGEST
CRIME BREEDER
(Crusader Service).
PHILADELPHIA, May 28—"Congress will have to modify the Prohibition Law," said B. Ogden Chilho, a prison authority of New York, at the luncheon of the Molly Pitcher Club at the Bellevue-Stratford today. "If we overcome some of the evils of the Eighteenth Amendment, it will be through you women.
"It's an unfair and an unjust law. If we had fewer hypocrites holding public office, the problem would have approached a solution by this time. The men responsible for the law lost sight of one quality of human nature—a desire for reasonable enjoyment coupled with an unquenchable thirst."
He declared Rhode Island had a 100 per cent increase in prison population last year, and, Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska more than 50 per cent. "Drunkenness," he said, "increased 40 to 100 per cent in New York: drug addicts in Sing Sing 700 per cent in two years."
Prejudice Grows as Americans Invade London
(Presion News Service).
LONDON, Eng., May 23.-American visitors are invading London in such numbers that hotels, boarding houses and real estate agents are finding great difficulty to provide accommodations for them. Along with this increase of Americans, many of them southerners, race prejudice, growing by leaps in the number of restaurants where Negroes are not go freely and apparently unnoticed, they are now being stared at and are frequently given slights, not usual to Negroes in England. This visible change in London, especially, is due wholly to the large influx of Americans. It is stated that one trans-Atlantic line has announced that it expects to bring 50,000 Americans to England tails summer.
ABYSSINIA HAS TWO
MILLION SLAVES
LONDON, May 19—According to advice reaching here from Geneva, the League of Nations has been advised that there are more than 2,000,000 men and women shaves in Abyssinia. It is said that the traffic in shaves in that country has been increasing each year since the world war. Abyssinia has already announced her intention to apply for admission into the League of Nations, but it is stated that the abolition of slavery will be the first condition imposed on that country before the application for admission into the League will even be considered.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 7, 2014—Following complaints by Negro ministers and social welfare workers the police are endeavoring to clean up the many dives owned by white men and patronised by Negroes. Special attention was directed to W. F. Anderson, (white), who is claimed to operate the most enterprising dive in Memphis. Last Tuesday afternoon the police raided his police and arrested him and 28 of those places in charge that these places furnish hangouts for Negroes and are the hatching places for all forms of crime, new dives and ambulance.

WARHINGTON, D. C. May 28.—Some three years ago, Mr. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, Ill., through the National Research Council established the Rosenwald Fellowship at Howard University for Dr. Ernest E.

Dr. Just has recently been informed that this fellowship will be continued by Mr. Rosenwald for an additional two years as the arrangements have "worked out so completely to the satisfaction of Mr. Rosenwald and the National Research Council" which organization "has followed with a great deal of interest the gratifying output of research which was made possible by this exceedingly effective and satisfactory co-operation between Howard University and the National Research Council."

Ask That He Investigate - Vice Conditions in the Colored Section.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 28—J. M. Tallock, chairman of the Negro Working People's Conference of Hamilton County, said Thursday that the officials of Cincinnati had failed to take any steps to clean up the so-called "black belt" and that the respectable element of Negroes in Hamilton County had appealed to Governor A. Victor Donahay to conduct an investigation. "We have obtained over 3,500 signatures to the petition presented to the governor," he said, "and we want him to order an imperial investigation and start a clean-up campaign. The moral condition in the black belt is deplorable. Cabarets and pool rooms are crowded with Negroes who have no visible means of support, and we Negroes who work hard and lead respectable lives want to know how they get their money. Murder and crime have run rampant.
"I believe the Negro problem is one largely for the Negro himself to solve and we intend to do it, as far as Cincinnati and Hamilton County are concerned. This criminal element is wrecking the black race and we, who have the interests of our people at heart, intend to see that this sort of thing is stopped.
"The white people look at that element of the Negro' race and judge them as the general standard of Negro morality. The newspapers (white) publish the doings of that element and naturally the whole Negro race gets a black eye in the estimation of the white people. The only way we see to gain proper respect for the race as a whole is to put an end to the criminal class. This will at least keep the newspapers free of such unpleasant and unfavorable news, even if they still refrain from publishing the commendable things Negro men and women are complish."
NEW YORK GIRL WINS
HONORS IN PENN
Vivian Tripp, age 18 years, formerly of 41 East 133d Street and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Renal P. Tripp, who has been a pupil of Ridge Avenue Junior High School, Darby, Pa. for one year, has been awarded a medal for an essay on Daniel Webster by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. In December, 1922, she took first prize in the school in mathematics. She is the author of a play, "Spic and Span Sally," which is to be presented at the school.

Joseph J. Rhoads, of Toune, one of the fourteen colored students at Yale University, won second place in the first term examinations this Spring. The honor carries with it enrollment as "Allis Scholar," and a cash award of $150. Young Rhoads went to Yale from Trenton Institute, where he had been secretary of the Student Christian Association. He is a graduate of Bishop College, at Marshall, Tex. Frank S. Bashkin is a servant-neighbor of the University of Illinois, precisely took the examination for the position of senior bacteriologist in the Chicago Health Department. Out of 12 competitions, only six passed the examination and Rankin came second among the six.
NATIONAL WEEKLY
PRAISEE FLORIDA SHERIFF
Says Collier's Weekly "When a mob is after a Negro prisoner the Sheriff is usually fishing at the other end of the county. But a Florida mob found Sheriff Magna right at home. At fifty six were exchanged in an object to seize a Negro prisoner accused of murder, and the Sheriff was shot through the hand, the mob goes off and decided that where there was a good Sheriff there must be some justice. But Sheriff Magna was not through. Before long 11 members of the mob were in jail. A steady man who knows that in the moment he is the State can handle nearly any mob."
EDUCATION THE CURE
FOR PRESIDUC
At the Southern Conference of Literacy recently held in Ho Springs, Ark. it was brought out that colored people are more eager for education than are colored classes of whites, and that red troubles come largely from the literates among the latter. "When all our citizens are educated, any one of the speakers, our expansion from more latitude will be gain."

time out of the commonplace. A reaction was due and the crudest images from the African tribes helped launch it, together with various isms that are still blazing more or less faintly. Paris had a full dose from the Congo at the outset. This country was fed homeopathical and now gets the first comprehensive and adequate exhibition of it thanks to the industry of Stewart Culin of the museum staff. He has collected for the occasion products of the Bushongo tribe, inhabiting a district south of the Equator, little adapted for white residence, thanks to a thoughtful Nature. The work presented is thus native and original, comed the exhibitions from the Congo, there has been some transplanting of the African culture in the form of designs and patterns in furniture and textiles. An African cloth, pounded out of bark, and painted with flora, animal and geometric figures of striking character and used in the Congo for ceremonial purposes has acquired huge popularity in Europe, where artists famishing for something new have converted, adapted, assimilated and fancified it to their own liking.
Another tribal development was in the making of mats from long aquatic grasses and palm fibre. Much ingenuity was shown in weaving strands in varied colors and tones and in curious designs. This product, known as raffia cloth, has been widely commercialized, for use not only as mats but for carpets, upholstery and women's wear. The natives are also adept in making furniture, stools, etc. shaping of metals for ornaments, and in wood carving. In the fashioning of ceremonial masks and sculptured figures and in pottery design of exquisite taste and workmanship.

HENRY FORD ON
PAGE RELATIONS
In a recent editorial in his paper, the Dearborn Independent, Henry Ford has this timely word to say relative to race relations: "There is no need of race hatred in America, even though there is a race question. The race that calls itself superior can prove its superiority only by superior ability to help others, and can attail its racial destiny only as helper of the others. The Negro is a human being capable of Integrity, loyalty, domestic peace and prosperity, and as a human being he is entitled to opportunity to developmental exhibit those qualities and to enjoy his natural human rights. Where the Negro has been given opportunity he has proved a community asset; his labor and his contribution to the development of the country are capable of being increased. Race correction education is always the superior way, and not coercion. The Negro should be given a chance, and should be regarded with full humanity and treated with entire justice."
A great Negro school, with 70 class rooms and an auditorium seating 1,000, is under construction in Norfolk, Va. at a cost of about $500,000. It will be one of the largest school buildings in the South and will provide elementary, vocational and high-school training for 2,000 students.
Meantime, Baltimore has completed plans for a million-dollar colored high school, with more than fifty rooms and an auditorium that will seat 1,700.
Stripped to the waist and with a strong rope tied about their bodies, Albert Brandon and Vanco Book, two North Carolina white man, braved death in the swollen rafters of the Dan River at Minton more days ago and saved two fourteen-year-old Negro boys from crowding. The boys were attempting to ford the stream in a buggy, but it was swept away. The mule drawing it was drowned, and the boys caught the limbs of a tree surrounded by the rapidly rising twer.

Which Do You Believe?
OF TWO MEN born about the same time schooled in the West Point Military Academy attained the rank of Brigadier General who other finally became a Colonel. One of them became Commandant of the Academy from both of them had been graduated; the other in Africa. Some of his friends say that he of "broken heart" because of unjust and inductory treatment at the hands of the United War Department. One of these men was the other white. One was Colonel Charles of the other Brigadier General Fred W. Sladen. SUNDAY these two men were again brought, the occasion being memorial services one who died in Africa, supposedly, "of a heart," and the population paused to pay triumph. Men of great minds retold incidents life, including, of course, his classmate, Br General Sladen. On several points all of them agreed:
COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG was a man in sense of the word.

SUNDAY these two men were again brought together, the occasion being memorial services to the one who died in Africa, supposedly, "of a broken heart," and the population paused to pay tribute to him. Men of great minds retold incidents of his life, including, of course, his classmate, Brigadier General Sladen. On several points all of them were agreed:
COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG was a man in every sense of the word.
HE POSSESSED CHARACTER
* HE HAD ABILITY.
* HE RETURNED GOOD FOR EVIL.
* HE WAS A GOOD HUSBAND AND FATH.
* HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO HIS COUNTRY.
ADMITTEDLY he was one of the greatest men of his time. No less an authority of men and than the late Theodore Roosevelt said so, being true he knew more about military tactics even Brigadier General Sladen. A friend who him for twenty-eight years said that the year spent at West Point were worse than Hell and that he was given active service in it. The American Expeditionary Forces he was a black man, and for this reason he "singled out and retired." Brigadier General said that this was not so and that during the both of them were at West Point as cadets he saw an insult passed to him. The War Depa afterward found out that Colonel Young was to see service in Africa where war is waged a man, beast and an unfavorable climate.
ONE OF THESE TWO MEN LIED, or was mistaken. One was white; one was black became a Brigadier General; the other beck Colonel. The one who became a Colonel greater soldier than the one who became Brig General and Commandant of the West Point M Academy. One gave his life to his country other still lives.
"ADMITTELY he was one of the greatest soldiers of his time. No less an authority of men and affairs than the late Theodore Roosevelt said so. This being true he knew more about military tactics than even Brigadier General Sladen. A friend who knew him for twenty-eight years said that the years he spent at West Point were worse than Hell itself and that he was denied active service in France... the American Expeditionary Forces because he was a black man, and for this reason he was "ringled out and retired." Brigadier General Sladen said that this was not so and that during the years both of them were at West Point as cadets he never saw an insult passed to him. The War Department afterward found out that Colonel Young was able to see service in Africa where war is waged against man, beast and an unfavorable climate.
ONE OF THESE TWO MEN LIED, or was sadly mistaken. One was white; one was black. One became a Brigadier General; the other became a Colonel. The one who became a Colonel was a greater soldier than the one who became Brigadier General and Commandant of the West Point Military Academy. One gave his life to his country; the other still lives. WHICH ONE DO YOU BELIEVE?
Colored Police Officers
JUDGE OTTO ROSALSKY of the Court of General Sessions was so impressed with the man in which two colored police officers gave test in a criminal action, that after the trial he handed both of them, stating that they were credit to the Police Department and that experience of almost eighteen years on the job he had never observed police officers who tie with greater clearness and terseness. The officers were Edward Jackson and Samuel K. the 18th Precinct.
IT IS NO EURPRISE to us to and colored of the police force fearless and conscientious discharge of their duties. The surprise in Judge Rosalsky marvelled at the high stand efficiency displayed by these men. Colored officers are the equal of any on the force, and the opportunity will win more promotion and edition than they are now getting. They have the experimental stage in maintaining order holding the laws of the city and state. Unless, at the present time there is not a defendant or captain on the police force of city. WHY?
JUDGE OTTO ROSALSKY of the Court of General Bessons was so impressed with the manner in which two colored police officers gave testimony in a criminal action; that after the trial he commanded both of them, stating that they were a credit to the Police Department and that in his experience of almost eighteen years on the bench he had never observed police officers who testified with greater clearness and terseness. The two officers were Edward Jackson and Samuel Kline of the 38th Precinct.
IT IS NO EURPRISE to us to and colored officers of the police force fearless and conscientious in the discharge of their duties. The surprise is that Judge Rosalsky marvelled at the high standard of efficiency displayed by these men. Colored police officers are the equal of any on the force, and given the opportunity will win more promotion and recognition than they are now getting. They have passed the experimental stage in maintaining order and upholding the laws of the city and state. Nevertheless, at the present time there is not a singletenant or captain on the police force of this city. WHY?
Changes in the Church
WITHIN recent years the churches in H have enjoyed a new era of prosperity. So much that the remark has been made that there are many of them. We cannot agree with such a most. Churches today, like most institutions undergoing changes. Most of which are far better. They are beginning to realize that unity work is just as important to the real nature of the church as it is to the community. The good old time religion, with its rallying and its superstition, will still seem to Heaven but be may be a sorry sight.
WITHIN recent years the churches in Harlem have enjoyed a new era of prosperity. So much so that the remark has been made that there are too many of them. We cannot agree with such a statement. Churches today, like most institutions, are undergoing change. Most of which are for the better. They are beginning to realize that community work is just as important to the religious welfare of the church as it is to the community itself. The good old time religion, with its raving and ranting and its superstition, will still take a man to Heaven but he may be a sorry sight when he gets there.
IN THE NEW Abysminian Baptist Church and Community House, just completed at a cost of three hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars, provision has been made for a gymnasium, shower baths, ranging rooms, classes in domestic science, stenopetry, typewriting, civil government, beauty culture and for an employment barron.

followers realize that God has no objection to an intelligent Christian and that it is easier to serve Him when one is in good health and gainfully employed, than when one is sick and unemployed. The Community House will provide clean, wholesome amusement and diversion for thousands of young men and women in Harlem who otherwise might seek pleasure in places of questionable repute.

The Ku Klux Klan has maintained itself by secrecy. It has lived in the dark. Whatever it had to conceal, it has kept up an air of mystery that gave it a kind of fictitious power for harm. The Walker bill, suggested by The World and signed by Governor Smith, forces the Ku Klux Klan, if it is to remain a lawful organization for any proper purpose, into the open. It is a reasonable measure for public protection. It fixes responsibility for the whole body of its membership on the officers and individuals belonging to the organization. By the simple provisions that it must file with the Secretary of State sworn copies of its constitution, by laws, regulations, oath of membership, together with a roster of officers and members, the law subject the Ku Klux Klan to reasonable accountability. Of course, there is the alternative that the promoters of this movement, conceived and executed in secrecy, will seek to continue it in secrecy by invading the law. For that there is remedy of prosecution and punishment through the courts. But one thing is certain—if the Ku Klux Klan cannot stand the light, then it will have to prove its right to exist. It cannot be permitted to operate under cover for purposes of terrorism or intimidation or "intrusive empire." It must unmask.

You must have lived in the South in order to understand and know the extent of its meanness, its crimes and its outrages. The Southern newspapers published by black people devote most of their space to church naws and long contributions written by the "leading spirits" and it is not deemed wise to print the whole truth. Quite a flurry is noticeable because the black people see fit to leave the South and some white Southern newspapers seem to take delight in ridiculing their expectations of treatment above the Mason and Dixon Line. A comparison between the treatment received in the North with that of the South is like comparing the beauties of Heaven with the blasting terrificness of Hell. The South, especially in the rural districts, is indescribable.
Most of its murders and atrocities have never come to light and a white man would just as soon kill a "nigger" as to snap his finger and to kick, curse and abuse him is regarded as an act of no consequence at all. You have got to be a black man and live in the South to appreciate the magnitude of its crimes and injustices. The atmosphere down there is not right and those who breathe it become contaminated and defiled. If they are white they become murderous, arrogant, lazy and unethical. If they are black they are depicted in mind, stunted in soul, muscle bound and disconcerted. They think as serfs and not as free men. That is why the black people are leaving the South and if no permanent relief is to be gained in the North it is better that they breathed a freer air for a short while than never to have known it at all.

With all the power at our command we urge every colored man in this State and city who cannot vote by reason of some disqualification to remove such disqualification at once. It is not so much by reason of negligence and indifference that not much more than one-half of the voting strength of the colored citizens of this State can be or is actually polled at any election in this State. We want to urge upon our West Indian brethren that they naturalize at once. Your future in this country is bound up inexplicably with the future of every other colored man in this State. You cannot help yourself; you cannot realize the full advantage which American citizenship means to you unless you become an American citizen. To the almost equally large number of native-born colored men who do not register and qualify, who thoughtlessly move out of their district before election, we say to you, you are equally university of the ballot and the full advantages of citizenship in this State if you disfranchise yourself. You complain about the political system of the South, which renders and keeps you a political sort, yet in too large a measure those of us who come from the South are indifferent toward the opportunity which we have to strike a blow with the ballot that we have, have in our hands, for our brothers in the South. That the slave power be forever extirpated from the Capitol of the nation at Washington; that Congress be taken out of the hands of Democratic Dixie; that the North may again assume control, rest very largely in the way you and I vote in the coming elections. They are pregnant with meaning of political life and death, of equal citizenship and liberty (for your race's tomorrow and all time to come). It is a sacred duty which devolves upon you and me to prepare to vote and vote right. NATURALJEE AND QUALIFY. Otherwise you cannot vote, and YOU MUST VOTE!
IN FLANDERS FIELDS
(With apologies to John McGraw.)
In Flanders fields where poppies blow,
Beneath the crosses, row on row,
We blacks an endless vigil keep—
Yea, we, tho dead, can never sleep—
Ingratitude has made it so.
Why are we here? Why did we go
From loving homes, that need us so?
Was it for naught we gave our lives,
On Flanders fields?
Ye blacks who live, to you we throw
The torch; be yours to face the foe
At home; and ever hold it high,
Fight for the things for which we die,
That we may sleep, where poppies grow.
In Flanders fields.
—Andrea Razaskerlefa.

John was recalled to the stand and related the attempts of the two students to bribe him. When asked why he had said nothing of it, he replied that he did not suspect that either Gaston or Philip had had anything to do with the robbery.
With this new angle to the case the defense obtained permission to retire for consultation. Lucille and John related all they knew to Attorney Carrington.
When the defense returned into court, Prof. Bruce was recalled to the stand.
"You said that Mr. Walton was the only contestant who knew the package was at your home?" "Yes."
"Want Mr. Breckinridge a frequent visitor to your house?" "Yes."
"Prior to the murder, when last wan be there?" "He had dinner with us the day Mrs. Bruce was killed."

Attorney Carrington began a summary. He made a plea for a client that profoundly affected the court, bringing teams to the eyes many. "There is some mysterious figure in this case," he said, "it
"Oh! Would you swear now that Mr. Walton was the only competitor who knew you had the papers?"
"If Mr. Breckinridge saw them he gave no indication of having done so," replied Prof. Bruce, coldly.
"Would you swear, yes or not?"
"Answer yes or no," ordered the judge.
"No," answered Prof. Bruce. He went on to tell of his having taken Philp home.
"And after leaving Mr. Breckinridge at his home, when did you see him again?" demanded Attorney Mary Arrington.
"If an hour later, He joined us at the theatre."
"Joined you at the theatre?"
That's odd. It was a popular picture and the place must have been crowded. How did he happen to find you? Come on. Prof. Bruce you're shielding some one, aren't you?"
The District Attorney objected to the last part of the question and it was stricken out.
Prof. Bruce then replied impasstially...."Mr. Brechardtage was unforced into the same box in which we were."
"Did he leave with your?"
"No. We left him there."
"Are* you sure of that, Prof. Brechardt?"
"I am."
Goston and Philip on the stand made streamlined demands of any attempt to bribe John.

"Would you say that it was either Mr. Breckin- ridge or Mr. Leigh?" "I am pretty sure it wasn't Mr. Breckinridge." replied John. "The figure I saw was much shorter than his."
Attorney Carrington began his summary. He made a plea for his client that profoundly affected the court, bringing tears to the eyes of many. "There is some mysterious figure in this case," he said, "that unfortunately only Mrs. Bruce knew about. Were she alive, how easily she could tell us he in Find that man and find the murderer to him. Who did that man is in this court at this very moment," he added, with a sweeping glance over the spectators.
Attorney Carrington continued impressively: "Gentlemen of the jury, would you condemn an innocent man? Would you visit upon his head the awful punishment called for in this indictment, knowing that, by God's help, the author of this foul deed may be unearned at any time? God forbid that such a wrong should be done. Once take life and, though a thousand murders should come to pass, will have been too late to late. Just (tice demands the acquittal of my client, the District Attorney)." Direct Attorney rose to make his summary. He was fierce in his accusation. "This prisoner, he said, with flashing eyes, "was interested in the examination. He knew the papers were there, and took advantage of the absence of his insurgency to topple the prison. That, in itself, was a destiny and desirable thing to do.
"Everything points overwhelmingly to his guilt. His fingerprints and his hair in the dead woman's fingers as she fought him off are most conclusive proof. He tells you of a mysterious man. There is no proof whatsoever as to the truth of that story. With regard to his return to the scene of the murder, that was only a scheme to

throw justice off the scene. Another palpable life is the story of the bribery. Every shred of testimony points straight to his guilt. If the dead woman should suddenly come to life she would point the finger of accusation straight at him. A life for a life, gentlemen. I demand the full penalty of the law."
The judge made his charge. The jury retired.
Twenty minutes later the twelve men filed impressively into the box. As each name was slowly called the blood ran cold in the veins of those in the courtroom. In spite of the warmth of the June afternoon. It seemed to Lucille as if she had lost all power to feel.
"Gentlemen of the jury, is the prisoner guilty or not guilty?" came the faxed question.
The suspense was awful. John's face was calm. A deathly silence reigned.
The foreman rose to his feet.
"Foully," he said.
Lucille was carried fainting from the court-room.
CHAPTER XIX.
Over in the neighboring town of Westham. Philip Breckenridge drew up his car in front of the Columbia cabaret. On seeing him, the flashy dressed colored manager threaded his way rapidly through the maze of tables and chairs and came puffing to greet him.
"This way. Mr. Breckenridge," he said, with excessive curvity, as he led him to a table. "What's the matter," growled Philip moodily seating himself. "it sounds like a funeral to-night." Pulling out his pocketbook, he drew out a twenty-dollar bill, and threw it down. "Give that to Steve." he commanded. "and tell him to assit it up."
The band put on added speed. The colored performers did their funniest antics. Philip's drink was served under the special supervision of the manager. The star performer came over specially to entertain him, and in a short while he was laughing and talking. Presently he became aware that he was the subject of conversation for three colored men at an adjourning hall. "Oh- is that he?" he heard another say, looking at him. "So that's the fellow John Walton claimed tried to buy him off. Do you believe it?" "Sure, I do. He knows something about that murder, sure's you're born, but he's got money and they've shuttled him." "Do you think so?" "Yes. I know it. Walton was sentenced to death, but I don't believe he ever killed that woman.
The Hat and the Gentleman
No reasonable lady expects a gentleman to remove his hat, while in her presence, if such a procedure would give him a "cold" and cause him to suffer pain and discomfort. The basis of any custom should be surcharged with reason. The custom of a gentleman removing his hat while in the immediate presence of a lady is an old one; its basis is that of courtesy and esteem for all the noble things of womanhood. But custom changes as civilization advances, and science and experience brighten the dark customs of ignorance. Science has made progress in these things which has to do with the "conservation of health." It is a proven fact that one catches cold easily by sudden exposure of the feet and head.
Many a man has had to nurse a bronchitis and a nose cold because he stood for two or three minutes with his hat in his hand, instead of on his head, while he was conversing with a lady, as they chanced to meet on some avenue or street. Encoument and pleasure of such a meeting frequently causes some men to lose their reasoning faculty, and this is known by the fact that the hat is quickly removed from the hot head, while passing cold breezes chill the circulating blood. Such men are heroes, but they are not wise. Protection of one's own health is in the finest kind of wisdom. The hat-in-hand gentleman is a foolish gentleman, and most women dislike that kind.
There is another custom of the same nature, that is extremely prevalent and just as extremely foolish. This custom is the removing of the hat by a gentleman while riding in an elevator in the
That very white man you see sitting there did it, or else knows something about it."
"But didn't they say he was at the theatre at the time of the murder."
"That doesn't cut any ice. Even if he was he could have hired somebody to do it for him, couldn't he. He's rich. There's something crooked about it, sure as you live. He knows something about it, but his money is shuttling it up."
Philip's face grew gloomy. The dancer strove harder to please him, but apparently in vain. Throwing her a bill, and another on the table, he arose abruptly and strode from the room.
Thero was an affecting scene when Lacile and Mrs. Walton went to see John in the death cell. John reiterated his innocence, and the two women expressed their faith in him over and over again. "John," said Lacile, "I firmly believe it is Philip. Breckenridge who killed Mrs. Bruce.
"The man I saw running away was much shorter. The puzzle to me is how did the colored man's hair get in Mrs. Bruce's fingers?" "Breckenridge hired a colored man to do it," said Lacile with conviction.
"He might."
"Or the police could have taken the hair from your head and planted it there."
"God only knows who did it. I didn't."
"Either Leigh or Breckenridge knows something about it." snapped Lacile, vehemently, "and I'm not going to rest till they confess."
The guards entered and tore the two women away.
Lucille left for Boston that evening. Here she went to the Ellington Detective Agency, where the told her story and all her suspicions. To raise the necessary funds she drew all her money from the bank, and took all but her most necessary clothing to the pawnshop.
Dave tense with sorrow and anxiety passed. John's execution was fixed for July 8.
The detective agency kept in close touch with Lucille. It said that it hadIAL Philip, Ganton and Prof. Bruce under close surveillance, but nothing had developed. It also substituted what had been said as to the fingerprints and the hair in the dead woman's fingers.
Lucille decided that there was but one thing to do, and that was to appeal to the Governor.
At his office they were received with the utmost courtesy.
"He is my only child," pleaded Mrs. Walton. "He is innocent, Governor. He never did it." "Oh, air," scobed Lucille the tears streaming down her face, "if you knew him as I do you would know that he is innocent." Governor Scoldell, in a sympathetic tone, reviewed the case to them. He told them that the preponderance of evidence was against John, and that, as an official whose duty was above his private wishes, he was forced to let the sentence stand. "But Governor, he never did it." pleaded Mrs. Walton. "The evidence is too strong. I must abide by the law." Governor Scoldell finally consented to postpone the execution for ten days. Lucille ducked it all. "I resort to appeal to Philly's better nature. She and Mrs. Walton arrived at his apartment. He heard a part of their story at the door, and finally invited the min.

CHORAL WORK SPREADS AMONG COLORED GROUPS.
Self-expression in music for colored Americans has lately been advanced through the work among colored people conducted by Community Service. That national civic organization maintains a special music organizer, George L. Johnson, for work among the colored groups which operate under the local Community Services organizations. Several recent concert illustrate the opportunity that is being given for the development of musical talent among the colored people.
For instance, in a program given by Louglass Branch, Community Services in Huntington, W. Va., numbers were given by a mixed chorus and by a men's and women's glee club, in addition to offerings of talented soloists. The music used included not only the best output of Negro composers, but other standard works. Dr. W. R. Franklin, the chairman of the music committee, carried on that branch of the work in Huntington. A similar alignment of choral groups appeared in a program at Cofeehill, Kansas, directed the direction of Mr. Johnson, who offered several favorite concert songs, sochos. A feature of this and the other programs was the singing of the national Negro anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," composed by J. Rosamond Johnson.
The Annual Spring Musicals presented by the Federation for Social Service in Dayton, O. introduced the Jubilee Chorus in several spirituals: The H. T. Burseigh Glee Club, the latter named for the eminent Negro composer; the Gritish Glee Club of the Steel High School; the Malleable Iron Works Glee Club; a double quintet in the "Miseree" from "Il Trovatore," and the Community Service Mixed quartet Bertrand Brown's song, "Baby," was sung by Mrs. Maude Walker.
Another annual spring event was the Music Festival presented by the Community Choral Club of the N. L. Edwards Community Service of Blissfield, W. Va. Several choral groups participated, their offerings including not only Negro spirituals, but such numbers as Goundd's "Ubald, Ye Portals" and MacDowell's "Ho, Every One That Thirsts."

The women rebounded their pleading. At last Philip walked back up his hat. The two women felt that he was going to help John in some way. They smiled through their tears. Hat in head. Philip stood in grave meditation. Then he suddenly threw his hat back on the leg. "Get out! Get out!" he yelled. "I told you I know nothing about it," and he hustled the two women from the room.
