But Death-Bed Confession of Wife Says She Was Slain By Husband; Claims He Gave Wife $40,000 a year.
VALPARAISO, Ind., June 11.—Evidence intended to link William Armstrong, chauffeur, with responsibility for the death of Mrs. Nettie Diamond, for whose slaying Harry Diamond, her husband, is on trial here on a charge of murder, was presented by the defense when Diamond took the stand in his own behalf yesterday.
Diamond testified that, with his wife, he started to East Chicago from Gary in their car, which was driven by Armstrong, when they noticed they were being trailed by a colored man in an automobile. Later another colored man was picked up and they sped past the Diamond car. As the machine came abreast, he testified, Armstrong and the occupants of the other car exchanged signals. It was at this point in the testimony the submission of which the defense is said to rely upon chiefly as a means of exonerating Diamond, that adjournment was taken. Attorney for the defense, however, previously had announced they would submit evidence intended to show that Armstrong, with two accomplices, was responsible for the fatal shooting of Mrs. Diamond, and it is expected this line of testimony will be developed today.
Other testimony of the defendant yesterday was regarding allegations of the State that he killed his wife in order to obtain her money. Diamond declared he had an income of more than $40,000 a year derived from handling liquor, and that he had given his wife most of the money she possessed.
The death-bed confession of the murdered wife does not substantiate his testimony, however, as she says emphatically that she was shot by her husband.

First Met Him in West Indies and Came Here to Work for U.N.I.A.; Incompetent Under Law, Says Judge Mack WITH its entry into the fifth week, the Garvey case is beginning to simmer down to the question: Who
will win? Will the Government, with its well-organized, ably-presented case; its corps of experts, prompt and efficient in every detail, and its short, sharp and masterly cross-examinations; or will Garvey, with his loose, rambling defense; his elementary knowledge of legal ways; his stumbling, irrelevant, often pointless cross-examinations, and his force, tragic seriousness, and thorough knowledge of the details of his case?
Given equal chances can mere good intent, however dynamic, win against organization and skill?
Digest of Defense So Far

"LOVE NEST" RAIDED; WIFE ASKSDIVORCE
Correspondent in Case to Be Sued for $10,000 in Alienation Suit; Mrs. Proctor Lays Unhappiness to Spiritualism.
At the instigation of Mrs. Rosa E. Proctor, 168 Lincoln avenue, Bronx, detectives from Boulin's Agency invaded the "love nest" of her husband, Alfred Joseph Proctor, who lives at 2127 Madison avenue, early yesterday morning. With him in the apartment at the time was Mrs. Hattie Timmons, who will be named in divorce proceedings to be started as correspondent. Mrs. Proctor stated that she will sue in the Supreme Court for an absolute divorce, $20 per week almony and $250 counselor's fee. In addition, a suit for the allocation of her husband's affections asking for $10,000 will be pressed against Mrs. Timmons. Lawyer G. W. MoDougall will represent her in the two actions. Mr. and Mrs. Proctor were married December, 1912, by Rev. Wilson, Pastor of the Church of the Messiah, in 86th street. She claims that her husband was cruel and inhuman to her and that he left her in 1919. At the time, she stated, she was ill.
On several occasions she says that Mrs. Timmons was introduced at parlor socials as Mr. Proctor's wife. The correspondent in the case is from Savannah, Ga., and has been living in the city for about four years.
Mrs. Proctor alleges that a contributory cause of her marital unhappiness is Mrs. Maude Francis, a spiritualist living at 4 East 123d street, whom she claims is his adviser, dictating his movements and actions.
Accompanying the detectives early yesterday morning, when the raid was staged, was Mrs. Proctor. When awakened by the search party, Mrs. Timmons jumped through the window to the fire escape, followed shortly by Proctor, and were last seen going west on 134th street.

Thanks to the clever cross-examination of Attorney Frank W. Stainton, Washington Heights lawyer Arthur Douglas, 493 Perkins street; James Halsendorf, 470 Lennon avenue, and William Kiser, 37 W. 134th street, were discharged by Magistrate Hatting in the Heights Court Monday morning when accused of robbery by Samuel Mileston, poster, 220 R. 22d street.

He said that in company with an unknown woman they had enticed him into a fat at 20 W. 12th street, and after taking $45 from him, had smashed him on the head with a china plate.
Attorney Stanton shouted in the ear of the complainant until he became purple in the face, but after half an hour's hard work he finally made Millerton admit that he had been drinking at the time, and that he really did not know who had robbed and beat him.
This fact was later corroborated by Detective McFarland, who said that Millerton had been drunk at the time that he had to leave him up to make sure that he would appear in court the next morning.

Detective Smith said that he heard a loud noise and much swearing coming from the Baker Club in the basement. On the stand he could not identify any one of the defendants as having made the noise nor could he produce any one living on the premises who had complained of noise.
Magistrate Hatting read to Detective Smith two previous decisions on the subject, made in General Sessions, ruling that it must be necessary to establish a case against each individual separately, and not accuse them as a mish. The defendants were then discharged.
James Dickinson, 28 West 134th Street, and Arthur Dior, 244 Seventh Avenue, were each sentenced to five days in the workhouse when accused by Officer Lawrence A. Symmers of the 26th Prefect with operating a touring car for hire without a cab license.

DISCRIMINATION IN
SCHOOL PERIODICAL
PHILADELPHIA, June 11. Three colored girl students of the School of Education of the University of Pennsylvania have complained that they were discriminated against in the compiling of the class record. Miss Anna R. Johnson, who made the complaint on behalf of herself and two other girls, pointed out that their names had not been listed in the alphabetical order with the other pictures and records, but had been relegated to the last page of the book.
Dean John H. Minnick, of the School of Education, in reply, expressed regret, and explained that a Southern girl had been chairman of the committee which complied the record, and that she had been reprimanted. "The young woman's class records," he explained, "is a student publication under the direction of a committee of students." "This incident was supposed to have been closed several days ago when the editor-in-chief accepted full responsibility for the make-up of the book and expressed her regret."

Trustees Mast
The annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of Howard University was held Tuesday, June 5, in the board room of Carnegie Library on the university campus. The meeting was presided over by Justice Stanton J. Poelle, president of the Board of Trustees. The members of the Howard University Board of Trustees are: Milton E. Alies, Dr. Michael O. Dumas, Dr. Thomas Jeece Jones, Dr. Jesse E. Moorland, James C. Napier, Dr. Charles B. Purvis, Dr. Maros F. Wheatland, Dr. James H. N. Waring, Justice George W. Attkinson, Rolfe Coblegh, Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, Andrew F. Hilzer, Dr. Ullysses G. B. Pierce, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Gen. John H. Sherbera, William V. Cox, Dr. Francis J. Grimke, Bishop John Huret, Cung H. Randolph, Dr. William H. Sidelair, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart and Dr. Charles R. Brown.
The one-untoward matter to be presented to the Board of Trustees was the resignation of Justice Stanlon J. Peelle as president of the Board of Trustees, which of course he has held for the past eleven years. The Board of Trustees reluctantly accepted Justice Peelle's resignation. A special vote was taken by the Board and it was ordered that a statement of the Board's appreciation for the long years of devoted service by Justice Peelle in that important office be recorded in the minutes. Justice Peelle will remain a member of the Board of Trustees. As his successor, Dr. Charles R. Brown, dean of the Yale University School of Religion, was elected.
Attorney Thomas Walker, an honored graduate of Howard University, was elected as a member of the Board of Trustees to fill the place made vacant by the death of Justice Job Bernard.

ence to their thrift or indulence, their sincerity or hypocrisy, their waste of time or use of opportunity, and their courage or cowardice, was the opinion expressed by Dr. James Weldon Johnson, of New York, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who delivered the principal address.
Doctor Johnson referred to the physical strength and stamina of the Negro race and its contributions to history, both in Africa and America. "The record of the Negro in this country," he said, "constitutes one of the most wonderful pages in American history. Brought here against his will, he has, in spite of obstacles, never turned his back to the light or consciously sought the downward path. He has always continued to struggle forward and upward. He has in language, custom, mode of thought and religion become thoroughly American. Not only has the American Negro served America, but he has made his contribution to her civilization, especially in art."
Ruhr Invasion a Failure.
Ruhr invasion a failure.
J. Henry Scattergood of Philadelphia, a Hampton institute trustee, who recently returned from the Ruhr, declared emphatically that the French invasion had proved an economic failure. Mr. Scattergood asserted that Americans must take a part in helping Europe, which is a terrible scene of growing chaos and dissolution. France is not getting what she expected from the Ruhr, although she is spending 500,000,000 francs a month on the Ruhr occupation, and the assets of the debtor, Germany, are growing less and less. Mr. Scattergood said there has been a "tomahawking" of German credit. No progress is being made in the present tragic meeting, which is a deadlock between France and Germany in the Ruhr.

DARRY, Pa., June 12.—Ed Bolden's Hilldale Club, made enough runs in one inning to defeat the Crane Ice Cream team here Saturday at Hilldale Park, the final score being 9 to 6. In the fourth inning 13 of the Hilldale players stepped to the plate and nine of them scored. Warfield and Stevens gotting two hits apiece in this frame the latter having two doubles. This inning caused the retirement of Rube Chambers, who has been a thorn in the side of the Hilldale players for some time.
Stevens, who played short in the place of Captain Lloyd who is ill, distinguished himself both in the field and at the bat, personally accounting for five outs, he making all the outs in the seventh inning, the second of which was a humdinger, he running across the left-field foul line, and appearing the ball while on a dead run.
Script Lee, on the mound for Hammond, kept Crane well in hand throughout except the sixth and the eighth, when they scored all their runs, and if Carr had held on to the ball in the sixth, with two men cut, they may have never scored, as four runs were pushed over after this miscue. In the fourth inning, Hilldale bunched five singles, three doubles and a hit batter, for nine runs, they also executing the squeeze play successfully.

Carltons Win From East Side Branch
The Carltonts won an exciting game from the East Side Branch, Saturday, the colored "Y" boys winning 6 to 5. At the end of the sixth the Carltonts had what looked to be a safe lead. Going into the seventh the score was 6 to 1, favor Carlton, East Side staged a rally and aided by two costly errors, chalked up three runs. In the ninth they added another run and had the tying run on the paths and none out. With this situation, Pogue relieved Brown and retired the East Side boys in order. Brown, the Carlton's crack young southpaw, pitched for Carlton until he was relieved by Pogue in the ninth. Brown was an affective as usual, but had a hard time locating the place, and gave seven bases on balls and hit a batter. However, this wildness only figured in one run.
Carlton picked up two in the first after two were down. Morton singled and stole second and rode home when Al Thompson hit safely to right. Thompson walked and they worked a double steal. Thompson scored on a wild pitch. Seaman was thrown out by Corkery for the third out. Carlton added another in the third. Pogue singled with one down and scored when Morton ended the inning by

Grays Win Eight in a Row
(Preston News Service)
PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 11.—Having won their last eight games, two of them being shutouts, the Homestead Grays tackle the Rochester Reds, said to be one of the strongest semi-pro teams in western Pennsylvania. It is said that the Reds have recently strengthened their line-up with several minor league players with a determination to defeat the Grays. The Reds defeated the Grays in the early part of the season when some of the Grays' best players were out of the game on account of injuries. Manager Posey says that his men are in fine shape, and, unless his men suffer bad breaks in the game, he expects victory.
The Grays' schedule includes for the next week such teams as Jeannette, Clarkaburg, Wheeling and Fairmont. All of these teams are leaders in their sections, but in former years have been made bite the duwhen opposed by homestead Grays. It is said that all of these teams have greatly strengthened their line-up for this season and have been going at a whirlwind clip.
Edwards in Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 11.—Danny Edwards, the Golden Gate wonder. Negro bantamweight champion, arrived here last Thursday to complete his training for the bout with Kid Rhodes, next Tuesday night. Danny has defeated many of the best men in the country and holds a 15-round decision over Midget Smith. The Rhodes-Edwards encounter will be over the 10-round route.

THE WORLD OF SPORT
MOST EXCLUSIVE PALACE OF AMUSEMENT NEW YORK'S LATEST SENSATION
The Sportive Spotlight
With the departure of the older athletes from active participation in sport we are today experiencing a void in competition which is alarming. Such clubs as the Alpha and St. Christopher are seldom heard of in these days and no more is it a matter of course to take up the daily papers and find St. Christopher taking her place among the big white clubs of Greater New York.
This state of affairs is to be regretted and we look with alarm on the lack of enthusiasm among our people as in the years now past. With such men as Gerald Norman and others giving their attention to tennis, it leaves the youngsters without the brilliant leadership of yesteryear on track and field and once again we see the ravages of professionalism making inroads in a sphere which gave us representation with the best in the country.
Even the names of the present day athletes far from arouse the enthusiasm as in the days when Howard Drew was hanging up his record for the hundred; Roy Morse, of Salem Crescent, was a hero to the younger boys by his performances and the members of both the Alpha and St. Christopher clubs received inspiration by the performances of the older athletes on track and field.
The garm of professionalism has done much harm among us, for even St. Christopher maintained amateur boxing and the boys representing the Parish House soon won honors, that kept in the limelight their club and its activities. But no sooner had they annexed an amateur championship than they turned professional. We do not blame them for following the dictates of their own minds, but to be induced by would-be managers who have done very little for them in a field where even the seasoned colored fighter is having a hard time, we deplore the condition which deprives us of the means of further representation in a sphere that tends to bring the colored and white athlete together in harmonious relations.
The spirit of the Young. Men's Christian Association both here and in Brooklyn to foster and keep alive amateur athletics is commendable and our undivided support should be thrown to these institutions. Through their work in athletics it is much easier to carry the slogan of health to the hundreds of youngsters who would be otherwise looking longingly towards the pool rooms and places of questionable character.
We are in sad need of men like those who not very long ago directed the athletic affairs of the Smart Set Club of Brooklyn, the St. Christopher and Alpha Clubs of New York City and also the Spartan Field Club, who, in their early days, did much to keep alive the enthusiasm of their members and followers. Attempts have been made to start other clubs with the ideals of those functioning in the past, but even the youngsters who assayed to lead the others were only actuated with a desire to get what they could for themselves with the result none has risen to take the place of those splendid men of yesterear.

But the box was not originally a poison container. Arabs, according to the authorities, are not poisoners, preferring the gun or knife for murderous purposes. The agate-studded box used as a poison box in "Bella Donna" was used by its Arabian owner as a perfume carrier.
"Bella Donna," in addition to being Pola Negrit's first American-made picture, boasts of a notable cast, which includes Conway Tearle, Connal Nagel, Lois Wilson, Claude King and Marey Harlam. Oulda Bergere wrote the scenario, and it was produced by George Fitzmaurice, producer of "Kick In" and "To Have and to Hold."

That, "How Come?" is one of the biggest shows since the days of J. Leubric Hill that ever came to the Lafayette Theatre, was readily seen on Monday night at the opening performance, when the same thing happened that used to happen in the days of John Hill, and that is the hard work experienced in hanging the scenery, occasioning it long wait, that the people took in the best of spirit.

Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty,
Dramatic Editor,
N. Y. Amsterdam News.
On account of so many misguiding stirred concerning the stay abroad and the return to the U.S. A. of "Planation Days." we think it time to come to the front with true facts.
Upon arrival in London we found a great deal of adverse propaganda being carried on by the "dallies," which were the means the critics used to denounce scathingly the importation of colored and white American artists and musicians (colored getting a shade the worst of it, as they had the color to dwell upon in conjunction with being alien).
The entire trouble was caused by jealous English actors and musicians—their different federations and professional organizations, combined to enforce their narrow-minded slogan, "British Theatres for the British." claiming that American artists and musicians being imported wholesale to supplant thousands of unemployed English artists, some editorsial going so far as to say "starring English artists," giving no mention to the fact that thousands of English acts are working in America while Americans are unemployed, an inertable condition in any country, as there must always be (from various reasons) a certain number of persons at some time out of work.
He was in spite of all thisitation and with the running times of the 24. Hit down 122 minutes. "Plantation-Days," a company of 25 people, was the outstanding hit of The Rainbow," which was conceived to be the greatest and most spectacular-production ever staged in London. The audience received the act with simultaneous appause, and were always left elamoring for more, which proved that the public loves American entertainment, especially colored

ing the theatre at opening time and it would have interfered with the smooth running of the show to have so many people piling in while the performers were putting over their work.
The same peppery chorus accompanied the show to Harlem, the same chorus that made Broadway sit up and take notice, and Eddie Hunter, leading comedian with the show, lived up again to all the good things said of him by the critics. George Cooper, straight to Cooper, is acknowledged to be about the best in his line in the present day and his work with Hunter is all that could be desired.
Another popular favorite who set the house wild was Billie Higgins, a comedian whose work won him favor from the first day he appeared at this house as a member of the Billy King Company. Another favorite was Amon Davis, formerly one of the bright particular spots with the Smarter Set shows. Andrew Tribble, like good wine, grows better with age, and all Harlem likes his work. Alberta Hunter, the sensation, who stopped the show every night while it was at the Apollo Theatre, duplicated the success of Ethel Waters, and judging from the enthusiastic manner in which she was received, it is not far-fetched to say that she is one of the best in her line today, barring none.
On the whole, "How Come?" should meet with great success during its indefinite run at the Lafayette Theatre. The show is, indeed, a big one and well worth the price of admission. Thousands will find a rare evening's entertainment by journeying to the Lafayette while this show remains, and we predict that those failing to see the offering, now that it has been brought to our very doors, will have much to regret

The story that the company came back storage is not wholly true. Unfortunately, the financial manager, never dreaming of the double-cross treatment that we were going to be accorded, neglected having stipulated in his contract just what class his company would be returned, which was taken advantage of by Sir Alfred Burt, who only put up third-class passage, which saved him hundreds of dollars and, at the same time (which meant much more to him), helped vindicate him for bringing into England alien labor, as he is a member of Parliament. As all members of "Plantation Dava" received their salaries every week and worked the entire time their contracts called for, most of them paid the difference and came back second class, and really enjoyed a wonderful trip.
We are now reorganising and have many interesting offers, and, as soon as we have decided upon which is best, we will be glad to announce name in your very valuable and interesting paper.

Maceo Pinkard Busy Writing Another Colored Show
Maceo Pinkard, one of the most promising among our younger song writers, when shortly after invading New York, made a fortune by his compositions, is busy writing another colored show, which is being rehearsed at the Lafayett Hall, Mr. Pinchard collaborated with Irvin C. Miller in writing and producing "Liza," the title number of this show making a hit from the start and keeping Pinkard, to the front. He has secured Jones and Jones, Edith Simma, Billy Cummy and many other well-known performers to appear with the new production.

Seventh Ave.
At 132nd St.
N. Y. City
We understand that another big race is on for Broadway. Even Joe Bright got smitten with the desire to show on the big street and made such an attempt in the offering which played at the Lafayette Theatre a few weeks ago, under the name of "Get Set."
The "Shuffle Along" Company No. 3 returned to New York last week and many of those connected with the production claim they were forced to close because the original company would not allow them to play cities where the latter expected to appear.
MATINEES
TUES.—THUR.—SAT.
An insistent rumor has it that Messrs. Goldberg and Grisman are no longer connected with the "How Come?" company playing at the Lafayette Theatre this week. Louise Azoreky, who spent many years with Whitney and Tutt and their "Smart Set" company, has been moved up to a more responsible position and he plans to take the show over a regular route at the conclusion of the run at the Lafayette.
They say that six shows have been rehearsing with the idea of hitting Broadway in the near future. With the producers of "Shuffle Along" also planning something new for the Big Street, the race will be a merry one, with many falling by the wayside as in the past.
The ventures of Jack Goldberg with colored shows seem to be suffering from a jinx from which Jacks seems to be unable to wrest himself. His first big attempt was with "Put and Take," followed by his piloting of the "Smart Set" show, with Whitney and Tutt, and recently with "How Come?" Mr. Goldberg also established Shuffle Inn, a place which did not seem to meet with a great deal of favor here abcuts.
"HOW COME"
An unlooked for climax to the showing of "Salome" took place at the Lafayette Theatre last Saturday afternoon when Robert Levy, formerly head of the Quality Amusement Corporation, which operated the Lafayette during the days of the drama, had Raymond O'Neill placed under arrest on an alleged charge of grand larceny. The very commendable efforts of the colored artists in "Salome" did not meet with the response which it was hoped would be the result of their showing on Broadway and it is said that the show has suffered financial difficulties from the time of its arrival here.
Rumor has it that an attempt will be made the coming season to place colored shows in Newark, N. J., for Indefinite runs. "Liza" met with unusual success in Newark and the powers that be in this mosquito town have met and seriously considered putting in something worth while done by colored people for a long run at one of the big theatres.
Dan Michael, who was the directing spirit behind "Happyland," the open air park, has started another venture at 141st street and Fifth avenue. This place is along the same lines as the former place and Dan has made improvements which will draw thousands. Riverview Park is the name of the new place which had its big opening last Saturday night.
From the London Daily Mirror we glean the information that Florence Mills was asked by the Countess of Athlone to appear at a special matinee on June 5th, at the Prince of Wales Theatre, in aid of the British Legion. Miss Mills appeared and was assisted by Will Vodery's Band and the plantation chorus from the forthcoming London Pavilion Revue entitled, "Dover Street to Dixie."

received would be credited to the proper department. "I never saw Garvey handle money of the Black Star Line or the U. N. I. A," she said. Attorney Mattucks produced a cashback for $870 for "emergency expenses on a trip to Canada," which trip also happened to coincide with Garvey's honeymoon trip to Canada, but witness denied all knowledge of this transaction.
Miss Gwendolyn Campbell, stenographer, 2442 Seventh avenue, also corroborated that part of Miss Leadette's statement relative to Garvey's handling of money. "I never saw Garvey write any order for money to himself," she declared.
Garvey Served Free.
Jeremiah Certain. 241 W. 129th street, second vice-president of the Black Star Line, said that Warner used to keep money for the Black Star Line in his pocket for "two days at the mall, Garvey, he said, to pay from the Black Star Line until September, 1919, before that date his services were voluntary. At no time did Garvey "sign whole rows of checks, or put blank checks in his pockets," as Powell, former assistant secretary, had sworn. Capt. Cockburn, he said, had advised the purchase of the "Yarmouth." Under cross-examination. Certain was extremely heavy despite repeated questions by Judge Mack as to "who would give the order for the payment of bills

Erroneously Reported Dead By Daily Paper
Contary to a report published in the daily Atlantic City Gazette-Times, June 6, James H. Anderson, founder of The Amsterdam News, is not dead. The report, which occupies nearly half a column, is headed: "NOTED EDITOR DIES." It reviews Mr. Anderson's career, from the time he started the paper, in 1509, and states that "a large number of persons attended the funeral and wept beside the bier of the eminent journalist." It is not known how or who started the erroneous report. It was published in a column of news edited by Wilfred Bain, formerly associated here with The New York News. Mr. Anderson takes it as a huge joke. He is vice-president of The Amsterdam News.
in the absence of Garvey. Certain admitted that he had no experience in shipping when he went to the Black Star Line, and was a cigar maker at the time.
Boatloads of Whisky.
James Hercules. 1567 Fulton avenue, boatwain on the "Yarmouth," said that Capt. Cockburn tried to abandon the ship off the Florida coast, and that he sold the provisions and the whiskey, pocketing the money. Engineer Goben, he said, opened the seacock of the "Yarmouth" when she had the cargo of whiskey and Capt. Cockburn sold the whiskey, "three rowboats full."
"Kanawah" Good as New.
Leon R. Brift, white, former captain of the Kanawah, sword that served the defence, the defendants had received commissions on the purchase of the "Shadyside" or the "Kanawah." "The hull was perfect and the engines in good condition when taken over by the Black Star Line. She was rebuilt after the war and was good as new." The "Shadyside" was built in 1873, he said.
Nrc. Garvey Testifies
Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, 133 W. 129th street, proved a nervous and irritable witness, but recovered her compassure as the case proceeded. She told of trips with the former Mrs. Garvey. She said that she first met Garvey in Jamaica, West Indies, and came to work for him in December, 1919, at a salary of $23 a week. She later got $30. As private secretary, she said, that "her duties were to write out orders for all checks before they were issued, even those for the president of the Black Star Line, himself." All accounts of the various activities of the U. N. I. A. were kept "separate and distinct," she said. She told of an exciting trip to the West Indies, which was made to skim the "Yarmouth." She said that while the ship was drifting an explosion occurred, lifting off the top of the engine room. "The chief engineer was lying drunk in his cabin. The water was pouring in and I heard somebody say, 'My God, they've opened the sea-cock.' Garvey, she said, had never sent circulations through the malf. That had been done, she said, by the stockholders upstairs.
Overrules the Court. Garvey was at first informed by Judge Mack that if Mrs. Garvey
was his legal wife she could not testify.
Garvey: She is my legal wife.
Judge Mack: Then she is incompetent under the law.
Garvey shared up in herce indignation. "I desire to call Amy Jacques," he thundered at Judge Mack. "Amy Jacques. Call Amy Jacques." he shouted with ferocious defiance. "If they want to send me to jail let them do so right away."
Attorney Mattucks: I must protest, your honor, at the conduct of this defendant Henry Lincoln Johnson leaned over, patted Garvey on the shoulder and pleaded with him to calm himself.
Judge Mack: I can understand he feelings of this defendant. It is perfectly natural for a man who does not understand the law.
Judge Mack has the reputation of being the most patient man on the Federal bench, and he lives up to his reputation. Now and then when pushed too far he flares up at Garvey, but is himself again the next instant. "The patience of the court," he warned Garvey on one occasion, "is apt to reach its limit if this sort of thing keeps up and the result will be serious for the defendant."
Garvey (defiantly): Garvey objects to your Honor's ruling on the ground that it places his constitutional rights in jeopardy.
Judge Mack: All right. let us get on.
Incidents of this nature are nu-
merous throughout the trial
Trips, Lips, Witnesses.
Miss Heinrich Vinton Davis and Mrs. Florence Bruce, star witnesses, were both tripped up by Atty. Mattucks as regards the sources from which they had drawn certain salaries while in the service of the U. N. I. A. Miss Davis testified that, while working for the U. N. I. A., she was drawing a salary of $25 a week on the Black Star Line. Under cross-examination by Garvey she changed this testimony. Later Atty. Mattucks confronted her writings she of checks received by her for salary drawn on the Black Star Line, but she was compelled to her first statement Edgar Gray, first witness for the prosecution, had testified that funds from the Black Star had been drafted for the use of the U. N. I. A. and its activities.
Navel Tactica
One of Garvey's latest tactics is to serve subpoenas on the Government agents in court in order to prove to the jury that they are "hostile" witnesses. One of these was James E. Amos, colored, special agent for the Department of Justice.
Garvey: Have you ever talked with people about Marcus Garvey?
A. Thousands of them.
Q. Do you know of Garvey's connection in business?
A. I know what they say he is.
Q. Have you ever heard of Lord Reading?
Judge Mack: Has Lord Reading anything to do with this?
Garvey: We may be able to prove it, your honor. He is British Ambassador.
Garvey, it developed, wished to prove that Amos was in the pay of the British Government, but his question was overruled.
Garvey: Are you connected with the prosecution of this case?
A. Yes. I investigated you.
Attorneys for the defense objected to this question, but it stood.
Garvey: Your Honor, I beg to qualify this man as a hostile witness.
Garvey: Did you, or did you not, say to some one in the corridor: "I have started my fireworks?"
"No."
"Did you state to someone that if you did not get Garvey you'd throw away your badge and your gun?"
"No."
"Have you n badges?"
"Yes."
"Have you a gun?"
"Yes."
"Do you know the N. A. A. C. P.?"
"Yes."
"Are you a member "
"No."
"Do you know Du Fois?"
"No."
"Do you know Moorfield
Streey?"
"No."
"Do you know Edgar Gray of the
Colored Republican party?"
"Yes."
"What were you doing before
you became a detective?"
"I was bodyguard for President
Rosevelt."
Atty. Mattuck: "How long
were you associated with President
Rosevelt?"
"Fourteen years."
Henry Lincoln Johnson, evidently in fear for the effect of this answer on the jury, tried to shout Off Attorneys Mattacks. "I can't see what all this is about," he objected.
Judge Mack (smiling): Mr. Garvey asked the question himself.
Another Garvey "coup" that worked in the reverse direction was his calling Mortimer Davis, department of Justice investigator, who had formerly restrained against him, to the stand. Garvey asked Davis whether "he had directly or indirectly called a telephone" to put the Black Star Line in distress. The process began to tell of a number of stockholders who came to him and asked him how to about recovering their money. Attorneys for the other defendants immediately arose to shut off this kind of testimony, but the whole story of the angry stockholders finally came out.
Much of the most damaging evidence against Garvey has been brought out by Garvey's own exams. Leading questions put by the prosecution escape him frequently.
Emmet L. Gaines, captain-General of the African League, said that his official salary was $9,100, but that like most of Garvey's other officials, he received but "a minor sort of job."
(Barney: Have you ever seen Mr. Garvey handling such money? A. No. He is always broke
OKLA. SHERIFF ON JOB
OKEMALA, Okla., June 11—A mob which assembled here Monday night apparently intending to storm the county jail, where it was believed that two Negro boys were being held after two white youths had been stabbed in a night, arrived too late. Sheriff McKinnon, fearing trouble, rushed the boys to Okunugue, before the mob had formed, it was learned at the sheriff's office Tuesday morning.
Atty. Mattucks: Your duty, as Minister of Legions, is to ride at the head of the parade, isn't it. Capt. Galies: Yes.
Did you buy any stock? One share. (Capt. Galies also thought that he had "several" other certificates.)
Q. What is your title?
A. I have none.
Q. You are designated as Right Honorable. What does that mean?
A. Why. Right Honorable.
Q. Are you a member of the Distinguished Service Order of Etniopla?
A. No.
Q. Don't you belong to the Sublime Order of the Nile?
A. No.
Garvey: Are you a member of Zion?
The reply was drowned in laughter.
To see the Provisional Ruler of the Continent of Africa at bay, shouting his defiant objections, is his worth seeing, if one can get into the court room. Garvey is fighting desperately every inch of the way.
At the opposite pole from Garvey is the bland and tactful Henry Lincoln Johnson.

Bartarous State That Was Forced
by Nation to Abolish Peasage
Still Continues Savage
PALM BEACH, Fl. June 11—With the story of Martin Tabert and Florida's barbarous poignage and whipping systems still in the shocked ears of the North, the "best white people" of Florida—the business men who turn out in automobiles with their wives and children for "the lynching show"—gave notice to the civilized world to-day, when the body of Henry Simmons was found hanging to a tree, that, in spite of the laws that her Legislature was forced to pass, the heart of Florida is still substantially as savage as it was before the nation-wide exposure and agitation of the Martin Tabert case forced her legislative body to withdraw the protection of legality from her rotten systems.
The body of Henry Simmons, which was found hanging to the limb of a tree on Palm Beach Island, had been viddled with bullets. Simmons was "suspected" of having shot and killed Policeman J. N. Smith, white.

JULIAN "RUNS WILD" 3500 FEET IN AIR
First Plane Owned By Negroes Christened By Mrs. Edward Warren While Hundreds Look on.
In fitting words Mrs. Edward A. Warren christened the first aeroplane owned by members of the race at Hasbrouck Heights, N. J., Sunday afternoon, while hundreds of spectators who had gone out to the big field to see Lieut. Herbert Julian, dare- devil parachute-jumper, looked on.
A few moments after the aeroplane was named "Bonita La Primera" by Mrs. Warren, the pilot started the motors and it soared into the air, carrying with it Lieut. Julian, his parachute and saxaphone. When about 3,500 feet up Julian, saxaphone and parachute jumped overboard and hurried toward the ground. Julian descended about 1,000 feet before the parachute opened. The wind was high but the young aeronaut succeeded in coming down inside the field, all the while playing "I'm Running Wild" melodiously on the saxaphone. Julian's skill in the air is now unquestioned. This fact was brought forcefully to the attention of spectators when a white daredevil jumped from a plane and was unable to land inside the field and when he did land, skinned his arm terribly.
"That these young aviators are the pioneers among their people," said Mrs. Warren, "at this time in exploring the vast recesses of the skies speaks well for the future progress of the race to-which we are destined to attain. The first ship to be named by colored people, I do so with the feeling that future generations of the race need not despair."

Broadway Jones' Rendez-vous Supper Club, the latest acquisition to the bright lights of colored New York, opened last Thursday with an abundance of entertainment. Recardless of the delay in securing the dancing permit, hundreds of joy-seekers availed themselves of the wonderful music and the entertainment to be had at this unique rendezvous.

MABEL HENDRICKS
DIES IN B'KLYN FIRE
Mabel Hendricks was burned to death early Saturday morning and her husband, Roy Hendricks, badly burned, when a fire occurred in a frame building at 164 Lorentz street, Brooklyn. The fire caused damages of only $5,000, but failed to arouse the two persons burned, while all other tenants easily made their escape, was responsible for the fatality. The Hendricks lived on the top floor of the building, and apparently failed to hear the warnings shouted by neighbors. When firemen reached the scene neighbors told them they had seen no sign of the Hendricks. A hurried search resulted in the rescue of the man, but the woman was dead.
Mrs. Margaret Heller, who lived in the house, was the first to discover the fire, and she awakened, as she thought, all the tenants. Samuel Coleman safely brought to the street his wife and four children, and it was thought when the family had gathered on the sidewalk. The fire started in the year of the building. Its cause is unknown.

The two youths lost because they were not as lucky as the $3 who escaped when Patrolman John Rumph of the Jamaica station interrupted their game. The patrolman man escaped Schwartz and hiked on in a narrow alleyway beyond the school.

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Many people contend too much free alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Mussel oil coconut (which is pure and greaseless), and more than anything else you can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsified is sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply molestate the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy, wavy, and easy to manage. Two or three Mulsified coconut oil shampoo at any drug store; it is insipensive and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Be sure and ask for "Mulsified."

Tells Dyspeptics What to Eat
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach, Heartburn, Gas on Stomach, Etc.
Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble, say medical authorities, are due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chronic "acid stomach" is extremely dangerous and sufferers should do either one of two things.
Either they can go on a limited and often disagreeable diet, avoiding foods that disagree with them, that irritate the stomach and lead to excess acid secretion or they can eat as they please in reason and make it a practice to counteract the effect of the harmful acid and prevent the formation of gas, sourness or premature fermentation by the use of a little Disurated Magnolia at their meals.
There is probably no better, safer or more reliable stomach antacid than Bisurated Magnesia and it is widely used for this purpose. It has no direct action on the stomach and is not a digestent. But a tea-spoonful of the powder or a couple of five grain tablets taken in a little water with the food will neutralize the excess acidity which may be present and prevent its further formation. This removes the whole cause of the trouble and the meal digests naturally and healthfully without need of peppin pills or artificial digestens.
Get a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia from any reliable drugst. Ask for either powder or tablets. It never comes as a liquid, milk or citrate and in the bisurated form is not a laxative. Try this plan and eat what you want at your next meal and see if this isn't the best advice you ever had on "what to eat."

Civil War Veteran
Dies at Age of 76
Succumbs to 0 OM Age at
Jersey City Home—
Served on “Monitor.”
| JERSEY CITY, June 1.—The
ranks of Civil War veterans were
diminished further with the death
of Alexander G. Powell, colored. at
‘bis home, 946 Summit avenue, Sat-
urday morning, He wag 76 yaars
old and death came rather sudden-
ly, {rom complications due to old
age Up to the last week, how-
ever, feable though he was, he was
still able to get around and visit
his friends. Mr. Powell had a
very colorful career.
Born in Troy, N. ¥.. Mr. Powell
mored with bis family to New
York City when a boy and gradu-
ated trom high school at the age of
14. He then attended Lincoln Uni-
versity, Chester, Pa., for a short
ume, but the lure of the sea was
strong and at the age of 16 he
enlisted in the navy, He was as-
signed to the battleship “Vanda-
Ha” and made a trip around the
world on that vessel. When his
enlistment ran out he returned to
private Ife.
‘About this time the strife be-
tween the North and the South
broke out and calls came for vol-
unteers. Again he enlisted. This
time he was assigned to the Mon-
ftor, the historic vessel which
fought the memorable battle with
the Merrimac. He survived that
battle unscathed and was trans-
ferred to Admiral Farragut’s ship.
In the battle of Mobile Bay Mr.
Powell was shot in the left leg
ang side, He was in the hospital
some time and remained with the
Union forces until the war was
ended.
He then received a position as
clerk in the Freedman’s Bureau.
Washington, and remained. there
several years. When Commis-
sioner French became connected
with the New York police depart-
ment he brought about Powell's
transfer to New York.
When President Garfield was
shot and Vice-President Arthur
took his place one of the first ap-
potutments ‘he made was to assisn
Powell as his private messenger.
Powell had known Anthyy lbetore
he entered the White and
was an, old friend. Throughout
the three years and a little more
that Arthur was in office Powell
kept this position.
‘When Grover Cleveland suc-
ceeded Arthur, Powell entered the
employ of Tigany & Company, the
New York jewelers, ‘and remained
there 28 years, serving ag a mes-
senger. He often made trips
across the country with jewels
hidden in a belt around Bis waist.
Powell was retired after these 28
years of service.
In 1900, at the age of 53, Mr.
Powell married Lucille Figids, of
Gloucester County, Virgiuis. ‘and
lived in New York City with her
for seven years. In 1907 be moved
to his last home on Summit ave-
pue. Jersey City.
‘When William McKinley was
running for President Powell
formed a company of thirty men
and’ carried out a very infvential
speaking campaign in New York
City. He was possessed of an ex-
cellent voice and was & satura!
orator, He numbered among his
friends McKinley, Garfield, Arthur,
Thomas F. Ryad, Presideat Hard-
ing and many other mes promt
neni in public life—From the Jer-
sey City Journal, June 4.

Which Way, Major Moton?
WE ARE BEGINNING to wonder how, where and when Major Robert R. Moton won his rank—fighting on the side of the white man, the black man or for neither. Each time he has been weighed in the balance of public opinion, he has been found wanting in everything except physical weight. He seems to be lacking in the necessary courage to face issues of vital concern to the Negro today. He is a poor leader and a worse follower. He seems completely out of place in the ranks. Like telegraph poles one passes when riding on a moving train, he seems to be traveling in the opposite direction.
WHATEVER may have been wrong with the philosophy of Dr. Booker T. Washington he at least had the courage of his convictions. He left no doubt in the public mind as to where he stood on public matters pertaining to his race. We realized that it would be difficult to find a successor for him. We waited and waited. We are still waiting. And the longer we wait the more disillusioned we become.
MAJOR ROBERT R. MOTON is out of step and out of place. He may be a good drillmaster in camp or on a school campus. He may look good and courageous in a uniform, but he is not the man to be at the head of a large institution of learning like Tuskegee Institute. The sooner he is removed from office the better. We believe that the principal of a school should have some of the attributes of leadership and that courage is one of the principal ones. "Leaders are born and not made," we are told. Even though not born with the necessary qualities of leadership there are many men who succeed as such when given the opportunity, because they know how to follow. Leaders, so-called, of this type are usually alert mentally. They lead by observation. They see their columns moving against the enemy and give the command: FORWARD, MARCH! From time to time they emerge from the rear to the front ranks.. They are never far behind, never far in front, but always somewhere near. They say little, but what they do say may be readily understood.
THE VETERANS' HOSPITAL AT TUSKEGEE, built at a cost of two million dollars, for colored veterans of the World War, pictures Moton in his true aspect as a leader. When the question of personnel first dropped up President Harding gave assurances that the hospital would be manned from top to bottom by Negro physicians, surgeons, nurses and helpers. These same assurances are supposed to have been given to Major Moton when he called at the White House. Reports have now reached us that when the hospital opened June 1st it did so with an entire staff of whites, except for assistant nurses.
THE JAMES E. WALKER POST of the American Legion, following an investigation, has openly charged that Dr. Moton is responsible for the selection of a white personnel. In plain words, this District of Columbia branch of the Legion says that he double-crossed the race. A Washington newspaper sent a telegram to Dr. Moton asking information as to his position, and was referred to some one else "over a thousand miles" away from Tuskegee.
THIS LEAVES IN DOUBT the Major's sincerity. Did he or did he not want a colored personnel for a hospital for colored
veterans? If he wanted a white personnel, why? If he is opposed to a colored personnel, why? Did President Harding doublecross him on the issue? Has he anything to say concerning the matter? If so, is he afraid to say it?
IN AN EDITORIAL appearing in the Atlanta Independent, under date of June 7, we are told that Major Moton "is not responsible for the mix-up and mess-up" at the hospital and that the responsibility rests with the Washington Administration. "In the light of our information," the editor continues, "the Major is powerless to open, close or select the personnel for services in the hospital." which is true. But why, in the name of heaven, does he not speak out in clear and unmistakable tones on the subject and place the responsibility where it belongs? He is in touch with the situation and evidently knows the facts. Why not reveal them? We are of the opinion that some one of the trustees of Tuskegee has whispered in Dr. Moton's ear demanding that he submit to the wishes of the Governor of Alabama and recede from his supposed position in the matter of personnel.
Major Moton is scheduled to speak in the Abyssinian Baptist Church this coming Sunday. We do not know what he will talk about, but we do know what he ought to talk about if he has the interest of his race at heart, if he is half the man he ought to be and if he has any regard for his future standing in the race he professes to love.

Thin-Skinned Leaders
all classes and kinds of Negro leaders, put in skinned leader is the most despicable kind of leader who exaltes himself on dictator, but who regards constellation of his acts as abuse and slander; is too thin of skin; he is too easily offended not stand before the guns of citricism. A man who is leading with the largest day is the man who is willing to hear the people. The man who not only is ill but who actually listens for the voice, is the man who is leading the largest. We have a school of leaders who are band for their own welfare, advertisement promotion. These men cling together with touching the Negro, and what injures all. They are clamish to a fault and endurance. This school of leaders on the efforts of other Negroes. They are thought and deeds of the thinking and women of the country, and with love proclaim themselves the father and all action.
There is coming up in this country a man who will not compromise with truth, and offer himself to be led by the incompetent most encouraging to note that ours of thought, originality, of courage are, are for the most part edited by this of new thinkers and actual performers. Press today has more vigor, more life sense than it has ever had before, for improvement and race betrayment in with appreciation the country over. We develop men who are willing to lead fire; men whose skins will not break amm; men who will respect the judgments of others; and even of the common people. The man who can not stand cry the severest kind, had better retire from leadership.
Of all classes and kinds of Negro leaders, perhaps the thin-skinned leader is the most despicable. This is the kind of leader who exalts himself to the position of dictator, but who regards constructive criticism of his acts as abuse and slander. This man is too thin of skin; he is too easily offended; he can lot stand before the guns of citicism.
The man who is leading with the largest following today is the man who is willing to hear the voice of the people. The man who not only is willing to hear, but who actually listens for the voice of the people, is the man who is leading the largest following.
We have a school of leaders who are banded together for their own welfare, advertisement and self-promotion. These men cling together on all matters touching the Negro, and what injures one, injures all. They are clamish to a fault and selfish beyond endurance. This school of leaders cash in on all the efforts of other Negroes. They appropriate the thought and deeds of the thinking and doing men and women of the country, and with loud declarations proclaim themselves the father of all thought, and all action.
But there is coming up in this country a type of Negro who will not compromise with truth, nor will he suffer himself to be led by the incompetents. It is most encouraging to note that our Negro journals of thought, originality, of courage and conviction, are for the most part edited by this rising army of new thinkers and actual performers. The Negro press today has more vigor, more life and common sense than it has ever had before, and its force for improvement and race betterment is being felt with appreciation the country over.
Let us develop men who are willing to lead, even under fire; men whose skins will not break under criticism; men who will respect the judgment and opinions of others—and even of the common people, if you please. The man who can not stand criticism, and the severest kind, had better, retire from the ranks of leadership.

An Appreciation of "Blood-Money"
I had in mind to send a personal note of appreciation and congratulation to Mr. Rogers at the conclusion of his story, "Blood-Monay," now running as a serial in your paper, but a letter appearing in this week's issue has spurred me to write my word of praise for a public service in this public manner. Mr. Rogerr' story has many of the essentials of a good serial. It grips you, it keeps you guessing, and it compels you to buy the next issue. And, above all, it is preaching a much needed lesson without obtruding the sermon on the reader.
I join with "Three Constant Readers" in congrat-
lating Mr. Rogers, and in thanking you.

CHAPTER XXI (Continued)
THE next morning Lucille waited with sense of dread while the chemist made saw him place the two "exhibits" of his microscope and then subject them to the acals to determine the presence of dye. After nearly an hour of patient, minute work and said with an air of finality: "These exactly alike."
THE next morning Lucille waited with a sickening sense of dread while the chemist made the test. She saw him place the two "exhibits" of hair under the microscope and then subject them to the action of chemicals to determine the presence of dye. Then suddenly, after nearly an hour of patient, minute work, he looked up and said with an air of finality: "These exhibits are exactly alike."
"Alike?" gasped Lucille.
"Positively. There isn't the slightest particle of difference between them."
"Positively. 'There isn't ference between them.' "Too bad. Miss Page," say Lucille walked dejectedly a During the few remainin conjectured, only to lead no July 13. On the morning of the Agency submitted its final retigation of all the persons co with the case, their character the time of the murder. The read as follows:
"Too bad. Miss Page," sympathized Lieutenant Childs, as Lucille walked dejectedly away.
During the few remaining days, clue after clue was conjectured, only to lead nowhere. The fatal date was July 13.
On the morning of the 12th the Ellington Detective Agency submitted its final report. It had made an investigation of all the persons connected directly or indirectly with the case, their character, and where each had been at the time of the murder. The report, briefly summarized, read as follows:
Wellington Bruce, professor of physics; was in garage at time; bears irreproachable character.
Pillai Breckridge; wealthy; bears reputation of diligent student; was very likely at theatre at time. This has been sworn to by Prof. Bruce and has been subsequently confirmed by an usher at the theatre; was competitor for the Stanton Prize
Gaston Leigh, freshman, heavily in debt to Philip Brckenridge; was at Breckenridge's apartment night of murder, according to janitor of building. Herbert McLean, professional genealogist, very highly respected townman, was passing house when murder occurred; entered house with Bruce. Mrs. Jeannette Bruce, member of prominent Indiana family. Her mother, Mrs. Augusta Inglis, was descendant of old southern family, and had been disliked by a uncle-of- those heirs she was—because Mrs. Inglis had married a major in the Union Army at the close of the Civil War in opposition to his wishes.
The report concluded: "We have made the most exhaustive investigations and have been unable to reach any other conclusion as to the murderer than that arrived at by the police. We shall, however, continue to work on such clues as may develop from time to time."
For the last few days Lucille's conduct had been a puzzle to Mrs. Walton—the two lived together at the Mongomerys. Mr. Montgomery was an electrician, and Lucille had been plying him with questions on electricity for the few evenings past. She had been questioning all the murderer of water, amperes, short circuits and insulation, referring from time to time to a book on electricity that she had recently bought, and to the reading of which she had deroted much time. Her conduct was a puzzle to everybody.
The morning of the execution dawned. It all seemed a horrible dream to her, to think that a few minutes after 10 that very morning all that would be left of John would be his cold, dead body. Surely God would not permit him to die. Firmer than ever in her belief of his innocence since her last visit to him, she had written a heart-rendering plea to the Nortonville Herald pleading with those who knew anything of the murder to be true and to trust in God. No one answered but she still clung to the desperate hope that someone would come forward and tell what he knew.
With the earliest mail came a letter. It was from John. Lucille read it stolically for Mrs. Walton.
"My beloved," it read. "as I sit here facing death my thoughts are centered on the two beings I love most in all the world, you and my mother. My last thought will be of you both, my beloved mother and my true and faithful wife that was to be. I did not content myself with the truth that who whole world called me guilty, you both believed in me till the last. May God speedily remove all thoughts of this great affliction from your lives. A last long farewell. Kiss my mother and comfort her for me—your beloved through all eternity."
Mechanically she took up the morning paper from the table! The headline ran: "NEGRO MURDERER TO DIE TODAY." She threw it down angrily. She shall not! He shall not," she said grimly. She swallowed a cup of coffee hurriedly, kissed Mrs. Walton good-bye, picked up a leather grip and left the house. It was half-past sight.
John had been resigned up to the last. "I shall show them how an innocent man can did," he said did resolutely. He had exhibited not only his knowledge. He had made up his mind to how to the inevitable—all he asked for was that the moment should come. God, fate, had willed his death. The whole mechinery of the state was against him, and to declare his lance could do was to declare his lance

cence and submit. It was a battle with the inevitable—a battle in which he was bound to be the loser, he decided.
To the prison chaplain and the other officials who had urged him again and again to confess, he protested his innocence each time, and at last asked them not to mention the matter again: "I shall always give the same answer," he said. "My conscience is clear. Some day the real murderer will be found. I see that destiny is against me, and I have no other recourse than to bow to it."
CHAPTER XXII
Had Lucille not thrown down the morning's paper so hurriedly there was another interesting item of news that she would have seen. This was that Philip Breckenridge had won the Stanton Prize. A new set of examination papers had arrived a few weeks later. 4
Over in his apartment Philip was awakened by a party from his frat who had come over to congratulate him. They had brought a bottle of wine, and dragging him from his bed had thrust a glassful into his hand. He drained it with a few hand words of thanks for the gathering. As he placed the glass on the table his eyes fell on the morning paper that one of the party had thrown there. The headlines caught his eyes. John Walton was to die at 10, he suddenly remembered. Glancing at the clock he saw that it was 9:30. He stood a few moments in deep thought, apparently oblivious to the presence of his friends, then with a hurried, "Excuse me, boys. Someone call a cab for me," he dashed back into the bedroom and hurried into his clothes. Asking his friends to wait until he returned, he ran down the steps and into the waiting cab.
"Drive to the police station as fast as you can," he said. In a few minutes he was there. The cabman opened the door for him, but he sat still within. "Here you are, sir," said the man, but Phillip sat apparently in deep reflection. It was almost a minute before he dismounted and paid the surprised driver.
On the sidewalk before the red brick station he paused for several moments, then walked slowly toward the step. Arriving there he paused again, glanced at his watch and placed one foot on the step. As he did so a policeman came through the door, and started down the stena, Philip turned and walked rapidly. Out on the sidewalk he hailed the natr cab he saw.
"Where to?" asked the driver.
"Anywhere. I want some fresh air."
A quarter of ten.
John marched between two guards to the execution chamber. The chaplain followed him to the solenm voice: "I know that my deemer liveth and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth, and though after my skin worms destroy this body yet in my flesh shall I see God."
John heard it all as in a dream. Did all these preparations mean that in a few minutes he would cease to be? Well, it had to be so. A tremendous calm settled over him at this thought. He reflected how kind the jailers and how prisoners had been to him. Larry in the last few days, as his going away make the war better? He remembered his first L. King with Lucille, and how happy they had been together. He saw her weeping over his dead body, even as he had wopt over that of a dear friend not so long ago, and the tears he had shed into his eyes. He suddenly remembered, amid the chanting of the chaplain that the cause of escaping tears might be ministered and restrained them by a supreme effort of will. For the sake of Lucille and his mother it should not be given out that he had been other than brawn.
The guard conducted him to the fatal chair. He seated himself in it with the air of the honored guest at some great function. "How in-
nocent the chair looked and the neatly painted room!" he reflected. His leg was shaved. The day was hot, and he was perspiring. he heard an attendant whisper to another. "His body is wet. The juice will work quickly."
The chaplain pleaded with him once more to confess. "I have nothing to confess." he replied calmly. "Tell my mother and my fiancee that my last thought is of them. I die innocent."
He closed his eyes, resolved to say nothing more.
In an adjoining room the executioner reached for the great switch. In another instant invisible death would strike with lightning vengeance. Slowly he brought it down.
(To be continued next week.)
Teaching By Example
A FEW days ago when I was in the hairdresser's shop a young woman came in with a very attractive little girl whom everyone admired.
The mother, with apparently no thought for the big eyes fixed upon her or the shell-like ears taking in her she said, related the following inclusion. We moved from where we were lying when my little girl began to go to school and it was too far for her to go alone to the school she had attended. But they wouldn't give me a transfer, so I told my husband I was going to send her to the other school anyway and tell them she had never been to school before. And, of course, I warned her to tell the teacher that she had never been to school.
"That night, after I had gone out, she went to my sister and told 'Tante. I always said the truth before.'"
"Oh! foolish mother," I thought, "how blind you are." The story stayed with me after I left the shop and it ranked. Then there came to me a picture of the day many years ago when my brother, a young country physician, had driven fourteen miles in a severe snow storm with his little three-year-old son wrapped up like an Esquimau, cuddled in his arms, because in the morning, when there was no indication of a storm, no had given his promise to take the little fellow with him when he made this car. And now, despite the storm the difficulty with the covered slutch with the child to look after, he dared not do otherwise lest the child should, in turn, be led to break a promise or tell an untruth because of the father's example. "Small use," said he, "for us to urge upon our children standards which we ourselves do not maintain in their presence."
These little ones of ours are so susceptible to influence, so intuitive and so prone to think "the king (father or mother) can do no evil" that we cannot be too careful. It has been my custom always to read or recite some worthwhile thought at the breakfast table that the family may take it with them to the day's work. I hereby I have given over this duty to my eleven-year-old son, and I wish that every mother and father would take with them and pass on to their children the little message he brought to us yesterday:
"With every day a new day
And every moment new.
We'll tell the truth, think the
truth
And to the truth be true."

Keeping Fit By E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D.
EACH year in the United States about 107,000 babies die before they are a month old. This is appalling, and surely methods can be instituted to protect these innocent babies, and give them a good start on life's journey. This is a big and important problem for social agencies, health associations, city, state and national health bureau, combined with this and education campaign against those diseases which produce in the child congenital debility and syphilis.
Book Chat by MARY WHITE OVINGTON

THIS is a history of the island of Jamaica and the author
ends her tale as follows:
"I hope that if a dark man reads this book he will not think unkindly of me for writing as if there were a difference between black and white. There is, it would be foolish to ignore it, but it is only the difference of education and training. We must remember that in past ages the Anglo-Saxon stood in the market place of Rome chained and in slavery, that blue eyes and faxon hair marked the savage, and dark complexion and black eyes the civilized man. The time of servitude of the dark man is a little closer. He has to come up the same stony path that the white man trod, and he will do it more easily and more quickly—he is doing it—because the white man has prepared
Splendid progress has been made during the last ten years in reducing the infant deaths after the first month of life. This is due to excellent work done in what is known as pre-natal care and the progress in the science and care of infant feeding.
The chief cause of death in infants before the end of the first month are congenital debility, epiphils, injuries to the child at the time of birth, premature birth, sepsis and infection to both mother and child during and after the birth of the child—what is known as obstetrical infection. Any one of these diseases may overpower or the delicate vitality of a one-month-old infant. Many things can be done to avoid these diseases, mechanical injuries, premature birth and obstetrical infection. The program may be divided

The history of Jamaica is full of tragedy. This beautiful island, as lovely as any in the whole world, fell first into the hands of Spaniards. They went as adventurers and left death behind them, killing, it is believed, all the native Indian inhabitants. One can take the limestone of the island pled with too much alcohol, killed the Spaniards as well. Then came the English, and by the aid of the African slave the land was cultivated and great estates grew up. Mrs. Gaunt is most interesting when she tells of the African slave trade. She has herself visited the West Coast, has seen the island pled by the Atlantic and has seen the most important of the "castles" those fortresses about which the Europeans had their settlements. One obtains a vivid picture, in both words and in the admirable illustrations, of the thick grey walls, the terrible dungeons, the waiting ships with their new, strange fortress, the dungeon where there is nothing left of white superiority when the author has finished with the slave ship.
And if the torture on sea was terrible, the torture in the new land was little better. Mrs. Gaunt has made a study of various plantations and shows the Jamaican as an example any Georgian lyncher today.
One realizes, reading her story, and comparing conditions in the West Indies with those in our southern states, that man cannot be trusted to remain kindly and humane if he be isolated and be overpowered by power of others over other men. Indeed, one does not need to confine one's comparison to the southern states and slavery. Wardens of prisons, superintendents of orphanages, again and again, have been found to practice cruelty toward those in their power. It would seem that it is merely the desire to hold the man most innocent, that makes most man decent toward those over whom they have control.
Thus slavery was more humane in Virginia, near the center of population; than in remote Mississippi, the West Indian plantations, alone out of all influence, the planter could do as he willed, and often he willed horror.
If the planters were cruel, the slaves were insurrectionary. Brawley in his History of the Negro has described how brought out clearly the gravity of their rections in this country and the constant fear under which the planter lived. It is this lingering sense of danger that accounts today for much southern lawlessness. The several uprising and the storms in Macroos, who for one hundred forty years defied the British government, is a chapter in romance, though, as are almost all these chapters, a bloody one. In the faction that the blacks lived as free men and again and again conquered the British diers sent to reduce them to slavery. It is an amazing story. Mrs. Gauna's book should be in our libraries. Its almost prohibitive that it will only be in our publics. It is beautiful printed a pleasure to hold and to read.
into the following divisions: Prenatal care of the exputant mother for five months before the birth of the child, adequate obstetrical care at the time of birth by a competent physician at home or in a hospital, and proper nursing care for at least two weeks after delivery. With such a program, syphilis and venereal diseases may be detected early and proper and adequate treatment given. Premature birth and congenital disability may be prevented only by such care and precaution. Women who are too poor to privately receive such attention should have social and municipal agencies provided to extend to them the privileges of such a program. Each infant who dies is a future citizen lost.

Children of the Night
A. H. idle dreamer, ye that let your thoughts
Seek out the path of lesser things,
Aspire for the greater things this life affords.
Let each thought, each dream, be a single link
To force a chain of deeds so great
That all mankind must shield its eyes.
The splendor to behold of such a Sight.
At twilight, all the world begins to think.
To idly dream of all that was in us.
Let not the WAS be first, for that man may be changed.
But build your hopes, upon the NOW.
The first to you, O Children of the Night, I speak.
Then may all naces heed the call.
Your hour of twilight has long passed.
And the silence is almost o'er.
The hour of twilight spent in prayer
And meditation by your forfathers Has not been lost upon the soe of time.
Not one little thought was sent away.
But all entered that vast dome of infinity.
And, returning brought the form of freedom.
To you, the seed of of that vast horse, I cry.
Let not the night so symbolic of faith
Bring only life dreams of sweet repose.
But may your thoughts in sleep be yet aspiring.
That all mankind may cross it not.
When dawn, the hour of triumph appears
You can proclaim in voice of thun ders
"I slept in faith; but yet I am prepared
To meet the things this life afords;
For every dream to me was prop graften.
And every breath I drew was edu cation.
Juxtime is all I ask; I am your most
