Smith Sent to Sanitarium BALTIMORE, Jan. 3.—Afro- American Exchange—Clark L. Smith. Baltimore and New York attorney, was placed in Bay View Sanatarium last week by friends for observation and treatment. Following a scene in which it is said he made an effort, to attack Gertrude Saunders, musical comedy star, who was playing at the Royal Theatre here. Mr. Smith, was held under arrest at the Northwestern police station, later to be released in custody of his friends. Mr. Smith came to Baltimore from New York and, it is said, made several attempts to see the actress. His detention followed his effort on Sunday night, when after being refused admittance to the stage entrance of the theatre, he attempted to force his way in. During this episode, he was taken by attendants and friends into the printing establishment of Gene Payne across from the theatre, and is also said to have become angry, hurling one of the men down the steps of the print shop. In his determination to get in touch with Miss Saunders, he is said to have searched the print shop for a pair of scissors with which he declared his intention of cutting her tongue. Miss Gertrude Saulands told Officer David Weed, who made an investigation of the case, that she knew no reason why the lawyer should single her out for attack, as she was only acquainted with him in a professional way, he having handled some legal matters for her three years ago in New York City. She admitted that when she reached the city he sent a request to her asking for a loan of money, but that she refused to entertain the request or see him. When taken to Northwestern police station Sunday night, according to the turnkey, he was highly nervous and remained so during the night. Seeing his condition Magistrate Joe Hannens refused to enter a charge of drunkenness laid against him, but ordered him held for a mental examination, and he was committed to Bay View. Several weeks ago, while in the city, Mr. Smith obtained a license at the local marriage clerk's office to wed a Washington woman, was reported at the time that the pair would spend their honeymom in Bermuda. This trip did not materialize, according to his friend who also state that the marriage ceremony did not take place. Mr. Smith was at one time one of the best known lawyers in Baltimore, being a specialist in estate and civil matters. During the last three years he has made his home in New York City and practiced at the New York Bar Buy Building to Give Amsterdam More Spe Mr. and Mrs. William H.

ARRESTED ON WARRANTS CHARGING CONSPIRACY AND ACCEPTING BRIBES Twenty-first Assembly District Politician and Companions Give $7,500 Bail for Further Hearing January 13 The only three colored prohibition agents attached to the enforcement staff of Major Chester P. Mills were arrested Thursday at 1 Park avenue, prohibition headquarters, by Deputy United States Marshals on warrants charging them with conspiracy and accepting bribes. They were taken to the old Post Office Building and arraigned before Federal Commissioner Garrett W. Cotter, who held them in $7,500 bail each for examination on January 15. All three gave bail. 13 More Lynchings in 1926 Than 1925 13 More Lynchings in 1926 Than 1925 According to records compiled by Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research, there were twenty-nine persons lynched in 1926. This is thirteen more than the number of sixteen for 1925, thirteen more than the number of sixteen for 1924, four less than the number of thirty-three for 1925, and twenty-eight less than the number of fifty-seven for 1922. There were thirty-three instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Four of these were in northern States and twenty-nine in southern States. In twenty-seven of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken, in six other instances, armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In four instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were indicted. Of the thirty-four persons thus before the courts, nine were sentenced to the penitentiary, eight for terms ranging from four to twenty years and one for life. Of the twenty-nine persons lynched, there were twenty-two Negroes, six whites and one Indian. Five, or less than 17 per cent. of those put to death were charged with rape or attempted rape. The States in which lynchings occurred and the number in each State are: Arkansas, two; Florida, eight; Georgia, one; Kentucky, one; Mississippi, four; New Mexico, one; South Carolina, three; Tennessee, one; Texas, seven; Virginia, one. 20 PAGES FIVE CENTS PER COPY EVERYWHERE Complete in 3 Sections E OF UNT IL; SSING VEY AND DIXON, ABBITION AGENTS, IN WARRANTS CONSPIRACY TING BRIBES District Politician and Com- 000 Bail for Further January 13 prohibition agents attached to for Chester P.

Warner, 145 West 142nd street, Jesse Harvey, 61 Horton avenue, New Rochelle, and Joshua Dixon, 49 West 153th street. All three are prominent in Republican party affairs in Harlem, especially Warner, who is right hand man of Robert S. Conklin, leader of the Twenty-first A. D. Both Harvey and Dixon have had splendid records as enforcement officers since their appointment to the department in 1919. Previously they worked for the Government in the Post Office Department. Immediate steps to secure indictments against the three men were taken by Assistant Federal Attorney J. Edward Lumbard, Jr. Major Mills stated to newspaper men that he had been asked to appear before the Grand Jury. Mr. Lumbard, following instructions sent out from Mr. Buckner's office, declined to state specifically what evidence the Government had secured against the agents. Arthur Briggs and Hyman Cassel also are wanted in connection with the case. They are charged in an affidavit made by Mr. Lumbard as acting as collectors for the three dry agents. The acceptance of bribe money, the affidavit alleges, dates back to January, 1925, and has continued up to the present time. Major Mills would not comment upon the case, although his investigators are understood to have secured most of the evidence which was turned over to the Federal Attorney's office. Charges against the three agents allege that they received small sums of money from various speakeasles and night clubs in the Harlem section. Mr. Lumbard upon bringing the agents before Commissioner Cotter demanded that they be held in $15,000 bail each. This plea was denied. Lumbard stated that he had evidence to show that the accused agents had collected large sums of money and placed it in banks, later transferring the fund to a point outside the jurisdiction of the United States. "This action," Mr. Lumbard continued, "was substantial proof that the agents would flee from the custody of the Government if they were admitted to low bail." --- --- After Repulsing Husband of Countess, Report Says, He Fled With Her to Watering Place Women Fought to Hear Him The sensational announcement several weeks ago that Kolard Hayes, famous tenor, was engaged to wed an Austrian countess, was dug up from the grave in which it was buried following Mr. Hayes' denial of the rumor, by a Baltimore weekly newspaper—the Afro-American—which published a translation of an article which appeared in the Jewish Daily Forward here. In the article which follows, Mr. Hayes' alleged love affair with Countess Koloyrdo, a Viennese beauty, and the stir his appearance there created in feminine circles, is told in detail. There was recently quite a turmoil in Vienna concerning a sensational love affair between an American black "cantor" and a Countess. The black singer who recently sang in Vienna is not a Jew but a Christian, the well-known American tenor, Roland Hayes. It is possible that in America Hayes is not a celebrated personage, but in Vienna he has charmed all feminine hearts. War broke out between the ladies in the effort to get tickets for admission to his concerts. The women fiercely fought for privilege of getting into the theatre to hear, and, better yet, see, the singer who so intrigued their hearts by his singing and by his unusual (to them) "dark visage." And, strange to say, the singer captured the heart of the well-known Vienna beauty. Countess Helena Koloyrd, of a high-born Austrian family, formerly of the Kaiser's Court. Her husband is the distinguished Vienna aristocrat, Count Koloyrd, an important figure in the Austrian regime. The Countess, upon seeing and hearing the tenor, fell head over heels in (Continued on Page 2) Shot Leaving Church Morning of New Year While on their way hope from church services New Year's morning.

New Third Ave. Mott Haven 2286 Alleged Love Affair Aired (Continued from Page 1.) love with him, since which time she never misses one of his concerts. Afterwards she invited him to her home, where he sang to her while she sat at his feet and swallowed him with her eyes. She declared her love for him, which he fully returned. The affair continued until the Count became aware of his wife's lover and, on an occasion when Hayes called, attempred to expel him from the house. Ireland not only has a powerful voice to bewitch women but, as befitting an American, he has a strong body and physique, probably well known to the husbands of his loves, which he used with advantage in repulsing the Count, and, after handling the Count quite roughly, fled with his beloved Countess to an Austrian watering place, Semering. The Count then filed a suit for divorce, and his beautiful white wife, enamoured with the black singer, announced her engagement to him. Our press seethed with the extraordinary story and the aristocracy were convulsed with chagrin. 'In Heaven's name.' cried they, "such an affair." "A Countess, a renewed beauty and proud lady, to wed a Negro?" "Open heavens, weep." "What are things coming to?" "Is indeed the universe topsy turvy?" Has the Countess gone mad?"

Nevertheless, the Vienna papers do not restrain their disgust and impatience. Their columns are still full of what appears to them to be a scandalous affair, the romance of the white Countess with the black singer, Roland Hayes. Gas Stove Exploded; Woman Awarded $12,500 Because a gas range on which she was cooking exploded and injured her, a jury in the Supreme Court aawrded Mrs. Marian Goodridge, 34, 37 West 138th street, $12,500. The verdict was obtained for her by Attorney Alexander Karlin of No. 110 West Fortithet street, against the Consolidated Gas Company, before Justice O'Malley in the Supreme Court. According to the evidence, Mrs. Goodridge was cooking spaghetti on August 3, 1924, in the kitchen of her apartment when 'the gas range exploded. She was severely burned about the body and, as a result, was confined to her bed for four months. The gas company denied liability, contending that Mrs. Goodridge had not taken proper care of the gas range. But Karlin contended that the company had not installed the stove properly and had not put it in good condition, and his contention was sustained by the jury. Escaping Gas Kills Unidentified Roomer Killed by gas which escaped from a leaky tube leading from a gas jet to a gas stove, the body of an unidentified man, about 45 years old, was found in a furnished room at 112 East 129th street, near Park avenue, Saturday, by Elno Jaakolas, landlord. Jaakolas called Policeman Meeman of the East 126th street station, and the policeman worked over the body in an attempt to revive the man. Dr. Tuman of Harlem Hospital was called and applied a pulmotor without success. Jaakolas told the police the man, who was five feet eight inches tall and weighed 160 pounds, rented the room a week ago, and was known to him only as "John." The body was removed to Bellevue Morgue.

Two Policemen Fight Street Duel Two Policemen Fight Street Duel (Continued from Page 1.) eral persons, including two women who were with Patrolmen Williams and George Walton, and who scurried from the scene of the shooting, but those interrogated tell widely divergent stories of what happened. Policeman Walton, who gave first aid to his fellow officer, says he does not know who fired the first shot. Policeman Geelsman, of the West 135th Street Station, who was on duty at 133d street and Seventh avenue, heard the firing and ran the two long blocks to the scene of the shooting. When he reached the almost unconscious victims of the duel, Walton and Harry Meyer, white, 120 Oceanview avenue, Brooklyn, were still seeking to administer first aid. Gleishman hastily summoned an ambulance from Harlem Hospital, after staunching the flow of blood. Dr. Allen took both men to the institution, where they were placed under close guard. Three bullets had found their marks in Troy. One punctured his left wrist, another his left thigh, and the third gushed his right hip. The single wound visible on Williams was caused by a bullet that hard penetrated his left leg. WILLIAMS' VERSION Williams told a reporter for The Amsterdam in Earlem Hospital yesterday that Troy opened fire on him and Wharton without warning as they were walking along street. These statements reveal that Troy evidently mistook Williams for someone against whom he had a grudge. It is a peculiar situation to explain, but the moral conditions of the district where the shooting took place are said to be corrupt and many white men are said to colabit with colored women. Runners who secure these women for white men often shake down, or rob, their victims and vice versa. Therefore, Troy's presence in the neighborhood at that hour could well bear inspection, it is said. After Troy shot him, Williams says he pulled his gun and returned the fire in the direction in which he saw the flash. Troy, he says, then began screaming and ran. His other two friends also died. Williams gave chase and caught Troy a block away at 13th street and Lenox avenue. Troy's gun was taken away from him. He was placed under arrest and rushed to Harlem Hospital in a taxicab by Williams, the latter says. At the hospital both were treated and it was reported that a policeman's shield was found in Troy's pocket. Until that time, Williams says he did not know the man was an officer. Patrolman Troy told an exactly opposite story to that told by Williams. Meyer said that he was standing a short distance away observing the quarrel and give it as his opinion that Troy had been struck by the first bullet and that he was on his knees on the pavement when he returned the fire. He might be mistaken in this. Meyers added, as everything had happened so AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 5, 1927. of the details. After Captain Pierne of the Sixteenth Precinct examined the policemen at the hospital, he ordered them held prisoners. A police surgeon examined them and reported to First Deputy Police Commissioner John A. Leach that they were intoxicated and unfit for duty. In the absence of Superintendent Rapp of the Harlem Hospital, his assistants refused to let either policeman be seen by reporters of The Amsterdam News Monday. Saved From Drowning by Rookie Officer Policeman Normand Michilli, a rookie, proved his mettle last week when, fully clothed, he dived into the Harlem River at the foot of 140th street to save Thomas Moore. 27, 695 Lenox avenue. Moore had fallen off the dock and was going down for the second time when Michilli heard his cries. Running from his post a block away, the policeman, without waiting to take off a single article of clothing, dived into the fey waters. A few seconds later he appeared at the surface of the river clutching the unconscious figure of the man. He was aided to shore and immediately set to work applying first aid treatment. An ambulance surgeon soon arrived and revived Moore. The rescuer is 21 years old and has been on the police force less than a month Auto Skids, Killing Two Children in Princeton On a double charge of manslaughter, following the death of two children whom he is alleged to have struck while driving an automobile. Edward Hayes, 29, chauffeur, pleaded not guilty and was committed to the Mercer County Jail in Trenton last week. The victims of the accident. Philo, 12, and Margaret, S. were the children of Rankin Johnson, president of the Trenton and Mercer County Traction Corp. Mrs. Johnson is ill in a sanitarium and it is believed she has not been told of the death of her daughters. The two children were said to have been walking up a hill on Bayard lane. in Princeton, when a heavy car driven by Hayes skidded across the street and struck them.

Calling attention to the character of these notes, Mr. Joiner says he predicted that in case of trouble between Bishop Jones and the university it might be difficult to show that the farm was not purchased by Bishop Jones. The notes, Mr. Joiner said, were in the name of Bishop Jones. In reply to him, Mr. Joiner stated, Bishop Jones maintained that he had been compelled to pledge his own credit in the purchase but that the farm was being purchased for Wilberforce University and that it was and always would be the property of Wilberforce. The board failed to act on the recommendation that these notes be in the name of the university, Mr. Joiner declared, and subsequently the farm was claimed by Bishop Jones. Mr. Joiner added that Bishop Jones stated that he was using the money of the university in purchasing the property for the school. Other charges being investigated by Mr. Brusseaux involve alleged padded payrolls, the purchase of coal out of school funds and its delivery to the homes of members of the trustee board, the purchase of a piano and its delivery to the home of Richard C. Bundy, superintendent of the combined normal and industrial department and the turning in of one piano as part payment and the disappearance of another piano which was supposed to be turned in as part payment, also, exorbitant expense accounts rendered and collected by members of the trustee board, the collection of money for work not performed and the undue influence of Bishop Jones in the affairs of Wilberforce University.

S. Marines Justice Dept. Orders Maj. Gen. Lejeune to Look Into Miami Affair The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, has received a letter from John Marshall, Assistant Attorney-General, stating that the U. S. Department of Justice, on the basis of an affidavit forwarded by the N. A. A. C. P., charging shooting and violence by U. S. Marines in Miami, has asked a thorough investigation by Major-General John A. Lejeune, commanding officer of the Marine Corps. The Department of Justice's letter is as follows: "Permit me to refer to your letter of November 24, 1926, enclosing an affidavit made by Mrs. Mabel L. Burnside of the County of Dade, in Florida, with respect to certain alleged action on the part of the Marines toward herself and her brother following the storm at Miami."

Hart, Governor's Constable, who has been named in affidavits by Alken Jail prisoners as one of those who took part in the lynching of the three Lowmans, has been refused reappointment by Governor Thomas G. McLeod. "For good and sufficient reasons," is the only explanation given by the Governor of his failure to reappoint Hart along with eleven other constables. The appointments were made as of January 1 and to run for the few days remaining of Governor McLeod's term in office. From the time Lucy Mooney, the little fourteen-year-old runaway mother of Horsecreek Valley, first named Hart as one of those who entered the jail to take the Lowmans to their death until three days ago. Governor McLood had given no public indication of lack of faith in Hart. The Governor even assigned him to investigate details of the crime. Hart had been in the vicinity of Alizen the week the Lowmans were shot down, as he explained, "on a liquor case." He consistently has denied participation in the lynchings, and after the Mooney girl's affidavit was published, made pub- NEW Orthophonic ictor CORDS! nsation!!

Supreme Court Ban Asked on "White Primary" Laws of Texas N. A. A. C. P. Makes Test Case of Statute Barring All Negroes From Democratic Primaries WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. -- Attorneys retained by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today argued before the Supreme Court that the Texas "White Primary" law enacted May, 1923, barring Negroes from voting in the Democratic party primaries of the State, is unconstitutional, urging that the Texas law was a violation of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution and of Sections 1979 and 2004 of the United States Statutes. The case before the Supreme Court arose out of an action brought in the Texas courts by Dr. L. A. Nixon of El Paso, who being a bone fide Democrat, with poll tax receipt and entitled to vote in Precinct Number 9 of El Paso County, was on July 26, 1924, barred from voting in the party primaries in pursuance with the contested Texas law of 1923. The Judge and Associate Judge of elections in that district, Messrs. G. C. Wood and Charles Worses complies with all laws and rules governing party primary elections; however, in no event shall a Negro vote in a Democratic party primary election held in the State of Texas, and should a Negro vote in a Democratic party primary election, such ballot shall be void and election officials are herein directed to throw out such ballot and not count the same. Pred C. Knollenberg of El Paso, retained by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in behalf of Dr. Nikon, argued that as Democratic party primary elections in Texas are recognized and regulated by law, casting a ballot in such an election is an act of voting within the meaning of the Fifteenth Amendment; and the immunity against discrimination on account of race or color guaranteed in that amendment protects the Negro in his right to vote in such a primary. Mr. Knollenberg's brief further recites: "The Democratic party primary in Texas is the only real election in that State, and the general election in November is nothing more Mrs. Gladys Fanning Ross, prominent society girl. Census Clerk (Senior) in the Department of Correction, Municipal Building, New York City, and a housewife, volunteers her honest opinion of Bond Bread. Mrs. Gladys Fanning Re- prominentsociety girl.

Mrs. Gladys Fanning Ross, prominent society girl, Census Clerk (Senior) in the Department of Correction, Municipal Building, New York City, and a housewife, volunteers her honest opinion of Bond Bread. "There couldn't be any better bread than Bond, because it's the best." HOME-LIKE FLAVOR—that is the secret of Bond Bread's tremendous popularity with careful housewives like Mrs. Ross. Bond is the most asked-for loaf in America today because of the bond of purity that appears on every wrapper, because of its firm close-knit texture, and because it is well-baked. Let your family test Bond Bread's flavor. They, too, will agree that it can be compared only with the best home-baked bread. Bond the home-like Bread Made as 43,040 housewives showed the GENERAL BAKING COM one-like the GENERAL BAKING COMPANY The case before the Supreme Court arose out of an action brought in the Texas courts by Dr. L. A. Nixon of El Paso, who, being a bona fide Democrat, with poll tax receipt and entitled to vote in Precinct Number 9 of El Paso County, was on July 26, 1924, barred from voting in the party primaries in pursuance with the contested Texas law of 1923. The Judge and Associate Judge of elections in that district, Messrs. C. C. Herndon and Charles Porras, issued a certificate to Dr. Nixon confirming that they had declined to permit him to vote. Dr. Nixon in this test case, financed by the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, is claiming damages in the sum of $5,000. The case has come to the Supreme Court on appeal from the Federal District Court for the Western district of Texas. The text of the contested Texas law is as follows: All qualified voters under the law and constitution of the State of Texas who are bona fide members of the Democratic party shall be eligible to participate in any Democratic party primary election, provided such voter THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 5, 1927 than a formal ratification of the results of the Democratic primary. The same is true to a greater or less extent in a number of other States. If such an enactment under such conditions be valid, "government of the people, for the people and by the people was an idle dream, and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States were adopted in vain. "In the primary from which Dr. Nixon was excluded, no race or color was barred except his. In El Paso thousands of whites and of Mexicans and numbers of Chinese could, and did, legally cast their ballots; but Nixon, because of remote Ethiopian ancestry, was only a spectator." The brief characterizes the Texas law as "such a fragrant, unjust discrimination against a citizen solely on account of his race and color; such a brazen attempt to banish him from a party of his choice and brand him with a mark of inferiority, as an outcast unit to exercise the privilege which other citizens enjoy of affiliating with the party of his choice and exercising the freedom of judgment in selection of officers under whom he shall serve, that we are constrained to believe this court in the exercise of the high powers reposed in it by the constitution and laws will find some means of protecting this class of citizens against such ignominy and shame even though we may have failed in our efforts properly to point the way." Associated with Mr. Knollenherr in the case are Moorfield Store of Boston, President of the N. A. A. C. P. Judge James A. Cobb of Washington and Robert J. Channell of El Paso, Texas.

Women Laundry Workers Slow to Join Union The work of organizing the Negro women workers in steam laundries proceed very slowly, according to Miss Rose Schneiderman, of the Women's Trade Union League. The union idea is practically new to these girls, Miss Schneiderman says, and it is hard to convince them of the value of combination for bettering their lot. Then again, the hours are long and those tired workers must go home to tasks which await them there. It appears to be almost impossible to get them out to meetings after such gruelling and tiresome day, she says. The steam laundry, employing hundreds of colored women, was the first industry tackled for organizing by the committee on organization of the colored women workers of the Women's Trade Union League.

She was a member of the Abyssinian Church, the chapter of the American Red Cross there, the Pastor's Aid and the Floral Circle. Since 1915 she taught in the Sunday School.

Warns Democrats Not to Bar Illinois Senator (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service.) (CHICAGO, Ill. Jan. 3.) According to what is said to be an authentic report, Edward F. Dunne, former Governor of Illinois and a Democrat, cautioned members of the Democratic party in the Senate Wednesday that if they voted not to seat Frank L. Smith as junior Senator from Illinois they would "remove the last vestige of State sovereignty in this Republic." He declared that they might jeopardize the status of their own colleagues in the Senate from the Southern States. It is said that Dunne took the position that the Senate may expel Smith by a two-thirds vote after seating him, but that if it declined to accept his credentials it would set a "revolutionary" precedent that is fraught with serious danger to the Democratic party, especially those members from the South. "The great peril I see to the Democratic party," he said, "would be that following this precedent a Republican Senate majority could refuse to recognize the credentials of any Senator from a Southern State where the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution gives the Negro the right to vote, alleging as a reason that they came from States where the Constitution was being violated and that their own elections were illegal."

Crisis in Pullman Porters'Fight Soon Crisis in Pullman Porters'Fight Soon Hearing Before Mediators Interrupted by Holiday Season After concluding successfully preliminary hearings with the United States Mediation Board, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters now confidently awaits the convening of that body, when further hearings will be held. The original hearings were held in Chicago, Ill., and lasted from December 5 to 17. The mediators assigned by the board were Hon. Edwin P. Morrow former Governor of Kentucky, and Mr. Bickers, his special assistant an an expert in mediation matters, who listened to the evidence as presented by A. Phillip Randolph general organizer of the Brotherhood; M. P. Webster and George A. Price, organizer and secretary treasurer, respectively, of the Chicago district, representing the union. The mediators also listened to the evidence of the Pullman Company as presented by its general manager, L. S. Hungerford. The hearings were interrupted first to give the mediators assigned an opportunity to report their findings to the full board and or account of the Christmas holidays.

GARRETT & RIDDICK COUNSELLOR8 AT LAW 2303 Seventh Ave., New York Open Evenings From 8 to 10 Telephone Bradhurst 5598 SECOND SECTION So. Carolina Furnishes New Outrage So. Carolina Furnishes New Outrage Tenant Farmer Sentenced to Life in Jail for Defending His Two Daughters The N.A.A.C.P. has made public details of a outrage in the State of South Carolina. The present on which the N.A.A.C.P. has been working since tenber, concerns Jim Davis, a colored tenant farmer, years old, living in Fairfield County, S.C., who shot an killed a white man, notorious for his shooting of Negroes, who had come to take the colored man's two young daughters. L. G. Southard, white attorney of Spartanburg, who helped defend the Lowman family in Aiken, on Sept. 27 conferred on the case in the N.A.A.C.P. national office and is appealing the conviction of the colored farmer. The N.A.A.C.P. on Oct. 17, 1926, sent its check for $250 to cover the printing of the record and the other necessary costs incident to the appeal. Mr. Southland telegraphs the appeal will be argued Jan. 10, 1927. The facts in the case, as recited in the appeal to the State Supreme Court, are as follows: Jim Davis had never before been in trouble of any kind. He had two youthful daughters who had been clandestinely taken from his home, with another girl, by three Negro boys who kept the girls in Columbia and then Greenwood, returning them after some days to their home. The father received the girls on the statement of the boys that they were married, and that marriage licenses would be shown him. boys and started for Jim Davis house. Mr. Martin tried to dissuade Scott but found it useless. The Jim Davis house was 637 feet back from the road. The truck carrying Scott and the two colored boys approached and turned into the private road. Jim Davis stood in his doorway, shotgun in hand. He warned the invaders not to enter his place. The colored boys stopped but the white man. Scott continued, opening the gate The boys were working in a nearby by road camp gang constructing a public highway. A week later the two boys planned to remove the girls when the road camp broke up and the boys were overhead asking white man, J. Austin Scott, the road camp boss, if he would help them as he had promised. One of the boys, it was reported to Jim Davis, exclaimed: "We will get our girls in the morning or raise hell and have a damned war at Jim Davis' house." Informed of this, Jim Davis reused to let the girls go. He informed the boys they could talk to the girls from outside the house but he would not let them enter his house again, as no marriage license had been shown him and he did not propose to let his girls go to live in road camp. At this time Jim Davis' white andlord, G. E. Martin, passed in the road, and Jim Davis ran down to appeal to him for aid in persuading the white man, Scott, not to aid the boys. The boys returned to the road camp and told Scott they could not get the girls. Scott then said he would get them. Scott took up a .38 calibre pistol, made sure had four cartridges in it and on being told there were no more cartridges said: "This is enough to bring two or three back." He got in a truck with the colored Five Days Meant Five Days Meant $33.44 Last Week! A. SAMUEL 30 W.

Name Address (Write Plainly) He Had Been With Us Only Five Days boys and started for Jim Davis' house. Mr. Martin tried to dissuade Scott but found it useless. The Jim Davis house was 637 feet back from the road. The truck carrying Scott and the two colored boys approached and turned into the private road. Jim Davis stood in his doorway, shotgun in hand. He warned the invaders not to enter his place. The colored boys stopped but the white man. Scott, continued, opening the gate that led to Jim Davis' house, less than 17 feet from the front door. At this point Davis fired, killing the white man. The record shows, according to the attorney, Mr. Southard, that Scott had killed two Negroes, that he had been in a shooting scrape in which the sheriff of the county had been killed. Motion for change of venue for Jim Davis was denied, although feeling against him was tense and he was hunted for several days by bands of armed men sworn to kill him on sight. The appeal to the State Supreme Court recites that not a single member of the Winniboro bar dared defend Davis because of the fear of the powerful family of the white man who had been killed, also that testimony showing the deendant's state of mind was not admitted. Mr. Southard in his letter to the N. A. A. C. P. states: "If he had been a white man he would never have been convicted, or if both of the parties had been colored, he would never have been convicted; or if the defendant had been a white man and it had been a colored man going into his house under the same circumstances . he would never have been convicted. The only thing that convicted him was the fact that he was colored." ```markdown ``` When He Secured a·Check for $33:44 Wineglass Show at the Lincoln as to Challenge if She Gets License Wheedling Will Make Ap- State Athletic Commission challenge French Woman if is Her Request to Show in if the ladies of the opposite right and draw down those big too, are going to put in our they will be able to side-track gentlemen of color.

Non, now! At last the good Governor of the Empire State is going to have his hands full and will be unable to pass the buck. There came to this country very recently one Mille, Jeanne-Le Mar from France, saying unto the people that she is the only female boxing champion of the world, and America, not having produced any, at least, not to our knowledge, there are two ladies of color who would, like their brothers in the past, step into the breech and uphold the glory and honor of the country by meeting the charming French lady. These two young ladies who would do battle unto the Madam-oselle are the Misses Emma Maitland and Aurella Wheedling, who and I don't see any ground for harring me. "The women who want to appear in the prize ring," says Attorney Push, "are not after the laurels of men, but wish to box with members of their own sex because boxing is one of the best sports for the development of body and mind. It promotes the welfare of the body by development of muscular tissues, otherwise flappy and neglected. It eliminates the burden of excess flesh that ordinarily provides foothold for disease, and improves health, strength and beauty of the body, bringing about perfect coordination." "As for the argument that boxing would deprive woman of her feminine charm, Mille. Le Mar herself is the best proof to the contrary. She's been mixing it ever since she was 16, and is today genuinely womanly and attractive." Dewey Wineglass Offers "Black Bottom Revue" "The Ace of Cads" to Share Honors With Dewey's Offering Latter Part of This Week Down at the New Lincoln Theatre, Dewey Wineglass is offering his "Black Bottom Revue" as the big attraction at the 135th street house all this week. All his favorite performers surround Dewey and they are putting over their stuff in a big way. Sharing the honors with the revue for the latter half of the week will be another big screen release. "The Ace of Cads." by an English author, Michael Arlen, and made into a Paramount picture with a cast that includes six Englishmen, arrives at the Lincoln on Thursday To be sure, the star, Adolph Menjou, is an American, as are Alice Joyce and Suzanne Fleming, but the rest of the company are all Britishers. Norman Trevor—Sir Guy de Gramercy, colonel of the Guards regiment from which Menjou is dishonorably discharged, was born in Calcutta, India. While still a youth he journeyed to England and there laid a foundation for the career which has given him his present popularity on stage and screen. Philip Strange, playing his first important picture part as Trevor's villainous son, was born in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Incidentally, his role is that of a young English Guards officer. In real life Strange was for many years a heutenant in the Grenadier Guards. The four other Englishmen in "The Ace of Cads" were born in line McDowell and H FORD Photo above shows Miss Pauline McDowell. 40 St. Nicholas Place, with her Chrysler (60) Club Coupe, won in a popularity contest conducted by The Pittsburgh Courier recently. Miss McDowell was formerly a member of the Cotton Club Revue, but gave up the stage to enter business college. The Courier is represented in New York City by Floyd J. Calvin. YEN These two young ladies who would do battle unto the Madamoiselle are the Misses Emma Maitland and Aurelia Wheedling, who recently returned from Europe where they appeared before the crowned (and uncrowned, too) heads of the people of the old country. They have appeared in many lands in their boxing skirt and up to last week, when they appeared at the Lafayette Theatre, issued a modest challenge from the ring-side to meet any lady in the world at their respective weights. So soon as the verdict is passed in regards to the application of Mile. Le Mar to the Boxing Fathers or Father, they will act accordingly. If the French lady is granted a license the colored girls will also seek licenses, and better yet, will immediately secure the services of a manager. Special Note: Don't rush, fellows, we have that job sewed up already, and will even dictate who will train them for the big bouts. Mirandy Tattler will be immediately appointed press and publicity agent and with a better chance of functioning at this time than he did with Irvin C. Miller. Former rubbers among white theatrical managers will form to the right and see if they can pass muster—after we get through passing them the mustard. And so that there will be no doubt of the truth of what we are saying to an indulgent public, let us see what the New York "Graphic" of last week-end had to say of the coming of Mile, Le Mar. Here it is, uncensored, as it came: "If women can swim the English Channel. If women can play hockey and baseball and basketball and other strenuous games; if women can replace men in all sorts of occupations in time of war, and beat them to a frazzle on tennis courts in time of peace, why shouldn't they be permitted to engage in professional prize-fights? "Mile, Jeanne Le Mar. French boxer, known as the champion female fighter of Europe, sees no reason why there should be any such restriction against her sex, and backed up by her lawyer, Miss Jacille Pugh. 165 Broadway, will start a fight with one end in view—getting a license to box professionally in this State. "Mile, Le Mar and Attorney Pugh will today appear before the State Athletic Commission with a plea that such license be immediately granted; and if the request is denied they will go before Justice Levy in the Supreme Court with arguments. "Mile, Le Mar, who was born of French parents in this country, but brought up in France, means to make her home here. "But it is not money that I am after especially; she told the writer who interviewed her. 'I can and have made my living as a singer in the past, but I prefer to fight. There is no law against women boxing professionally as far as I know. COLORED GIRLS TO CHALLENGE CHAMPION Colored Entertainers Heroes in European Fire Ah!

WE are indebted to Sparrow Robertson of the Paris edition of the New York Herald for the account of this recent battle of Brown, which had not been robbed of the decision, would have given him three: straight victories. He won his other two lights by quick knockouts, also with a single knockout in Europe by his showing. So Sparrow Robertson, in paper in this country to carry accounts of Brown's activities in Europe. SPECIAL. Christmas tree party, planned for the children of Paris policemen, was a Yuletide feature at the Fellowship Chapel. Thursday evening, the children of Paris policemen, were invited to Paul Gulchard, Director of the Municipal Police, attended and Miss Josephine Raker headed a program planned, and succeeded in bringing delight to the juvenile audience. The entertainment lasted about an hour, after which gifts were distributed to the children. A children's ball concluded the matinee. REFERENCE to the following letter, which was sent to the Paris edition of the New York Herald by a correspondent, was made by Al Hughes in his communication to us, appearing in this column, the clipping enclosed by the mother side to be fair to us: Would you make a note of this in your paper? On the night of December 10, here in Rome, at about 12:30, the Apollo Theatre was burned down completely. Four were dead, all four being artists. The "Jazz Kings" a colored orchestra that has just arrived from Paris to fill an engagement at said theatre, did some acts of bravery (they flew a plane, they drew a capelet, they set fire to a plant), and Rudolph Dumbar (dancer and saxophonist), the latter personally saving four women from being burned to death. He was also the last to leave the theatre, when he climbed through a window and was practically overcome by the fire. The "Jazz Kings" had just get through doing their act on the stage when the fire started. G. FRETTTE.

Hope you will remember and wishing you a New York Herald and Promerous New Year. Thanking you immensely for copies of Amsterdam News. I remain. Dear Sir, I am writing you this letter because I believe that both you and the public should know precisely why there was no midnight show of Deacon Johnson's Singers and Players at the Alhambra Theatre on the evening of December 3rd. Here are the facts briefly: During the earlier part of the evening, Mr. A. Gibert was a manager of the entire affair. Prior to this, however, by several decrees, I had a conference of newspaper men at my residence, in which Deacon Johnson himself was an active participant. As a means of keeping the record book strategic for future reference, I might be well known the newspaper men who were involved in the production of the Tattler; Mr. S. A. Gibert, the New York News; Mr. E. G. Dayle of your paper, and Mr. I. W. Wether, of the New York Age. With one accord, following the lead of Deacon Johnson, three representatives of the theater company were deated at Chester Pa. Mr. A. A. Jackson was deputed to interview the Sarony management as to terms for the producing there of such an affair. The terms being satisfactory, I immediately began negotiations for the Lafayette Theatre, and with Deacon Johnson himself, Mr. Abraham Isner and Mr. William H. Browne, the manager of the appointment to the Plaza Theatre, 56th street and Madison avenue, in which are located the offices of Mr. Leo Brecher and Mr. Frank Schiffman. Our appointment was with Mr. Schiffman, but we missed him. On the following day, however, Mr. Blumenthal returned to the Plaza and consulted with Mr. Schiffman. The same afternoon, also by appointment, I met Mr. Schiffman at the Lafayette Theatre, acquired his terms and upon his suggestion proceeded with Mr. Abraham Isner to the National Urban League to obtain from Mr. James H. Browne, the manager of the appointment to the Plaza Theatre, from the Lafayette to be reused only for benefit that have been amended by a bona-fide organization.

James, De Witt Davis, Udell Davis and Billy Ralls Blew In From Pittsburgh Last Week and Helped to Keep Things Lively at the Lincoln Theatre, Where They Went Over Big at Every Performance. Deacon Johnson, believing that the past glories that were his because of his friend relation to the old left club were sufficient recommendation, refused pointedly to have anything to do with the Urban League. As manager, of course, I suggested a appointment of the benefit, and the giving of a straight outout out moneymaking show. To this he agreed. My next step, then, was to agree on an appointment. This I did, after talking with Deacon Johnson, on the day before he left New York for the theatre, Pa., to attend the funeral of Mr. Anderson. I secured the Alhambra started a streumous campaign of advertising, and actually had people asking for reserved seats at the theatre. On Deacon Johnson's request, the manager of the Alhambra and Mr. Johnson agreed to all of the management's terms, promising to return on Wednesday with his check. This he never did, to my knowledge. If I had believed for one second that he was not acting good faith, did not intend to abide by his agreement with me and the Alhambra management. I would have laughed at the advertising matter that has since gone out, nor would I have engaged the services of Will Volkry and Will Marion Cook as conductors. Before closing, I would like to make mention of the fact that Deacon Johnson, with the manner in which he conducted the press end of his concert that assured the theatre that he would be pleased to engage one night in each month for similar affairs. Still he has not used even one night, the 3rd of December. There you have the reasons. Romeo, why there was no midnight, show at the Alhambra on the 23rd of April, singlesly, and cordially, yours Sincerely and cordially yours, WY.

Rogers Gives His Impression of New Play at the Provincetown And Brings to His Readers a Comprehensive Account in His Usual Lucid Style Marked With the Simplicity Which Has Won Him Such a Large Following as an Author adversity at every step, simply because he will not "knuckle under" to the whites. Abraham wants to be a great educator and starts to gratify his great ambitions by opening a litter the school in a turpentine district, but finally loses out after three years because he has beaten a diseased pupil, and the white folks, working by subterranean methods, find it a good way to hit back at him. But Abraham is persistence itself, the dragging years failing to dim his homes, for has he not a son, Douglas, who has had better advantages than he, and is going to accomplish all that he had failed for one cause of another to accomplish? Douglas, however, turns out to be worthless and a wastrel and, to make matters worse, Abraham loses his job. Then he decides to return home, taking with him his faithful wife and his mother, Muh Mack. Home again all Abraham's old ambition returns; it is a trade school this time—white folks want Negroes to learn trades—but again his failure to be a white folks' nigger gets him deeper and deeper into trouble, until it leads to the murder of his white half-brother, Colonel McCrane, his tormentor, and the clutches of the mob to which Abraham pleads for death OKER TRUE ONE Each Big 10-Inch Record Has Two Hits - 75 Cents Hear These Records at the Nearest Dealer Listed Below and Be Sure to Get the Latest List of OKeh Race Records OKEH Race Records © OKEH PHONOGRAPH CORPORATION 15 West 18th Street, New York City (By I.

Stanley Grove At the Provinence town Theatre is again being demonstrated the fact that tragedy—real, searing tragedy —as poignant and gripping as any thing ever written by Shakespeare or Eschybis, is to be found in Negro life in America. The vehicle of this tragedy is a play, "In Abraham's Bosom," written by Paul Green, professor of philosophy in the University of North Carolina, bringing out with power and sympathy the terrific difficulties that beset the path of any Negro in the South who sets out to be other than a white folk's nigger," in its varying grades. The hero, Abraham McTranle, who has had a hard struggle, directly as caused by the white people and indirectly as caused by them, through the psychology forced both on himself and his own people, decides to do something to advance his race, but is dosed by Morris Music Shop, 659 Lenox Ave. Rockville Mine Co., 434 Lenox Ave. Van M.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 5, 1927 "SUPERMAN'S" AUTHOR SEES NEW PLAY Miller's "Red Hot Mama" at the Lafayette after the staying of his half-other. The play is a triumph not only for its author, but its interpreters. Julius Bledsoe, though a newcomer, gave promise through his excellent and impressive interpretation of being a new star in the dramatic firmament above the color line. The acting of Rose McClendon as Goldie, Abraham's wife was marked throughout with sincerity and the deep sympathetic understanding which she brought to the play: Abbie Mitchell acted the part of Muh Mack to perfection, and so did Armitage Lattner, gum-chewing pupil of Abraham; nor can hardly less be said of the other players. Despite the fact that in its last analysis the play smacks of white man's interpretation, it reveals great understanding of what the aspiring Negro really faces in the South, and is, in its effect, a powerful plea for justice. The scene is laid in North Carolina, which has the reputation of being one of the most advanced of the Southern States. Miller to Bring Back His "Red Hot Mama" at the Lafayette The big revues continue to be the big "piece de resistance" at the Lafayette Theatre. This week Charlie Davis is presenting a little offering with a big name, "Rufus and Rastus in the War," which is going over nicely. For next week Irvin C. Miller is bringing back Gertrude Saunders in a new edition of "Red Hot Mama," which, we are told, met with a great deal of success on the road.

E Records CORPORATION New York City Our Weekly Letter to Lucette Our Weekly Letter to Lucette By THE ROVER MY dear Lucette: Accept my thanks for the kind greetings extended during the holiday season. You are right. I am inclined to believe that all mankind will spirit the spirit of the times, even Eddie Bector. Who are now entertaining in a car? Why shouldn't they? Did not the man who street accountability? And did we not have to make sure every point of it? They ought to have a nice time through life if they can find enough people like us to take responsibility from their shoulders. No, Lucette, not even a card did we receive from them. We assure you, however, that they furnish us enough material to keep up certain studies we are making, and perhaps environment plays the part which clearly after all is said and done. You will be surprised to hear this, one of our theatre managers here used to be a theatre lighters, and one of the arts which he highly developed in building the lighters. Yes, Lucette, so much so he said the other day would be saving the first to take charque of lady prices from our course if the Boxing Commission should also license O-o-o-o-o-h, too. You will introduce certain tabaret methods in praise of this humour. Don't you? FLOYD CALVIN saw the New Year enter in company with us. Floyd accompanied by little William Clarke of the New York Age, had made the train down to the Provinetown Playhouse to see Julius Blescoe, a new person, and when he returned to Haven he enquired about his disappearance and asked Floyd. To which we replied, white pointing to a bunch of rats that had just left their holes on upper Fifth avenue to them, my brother, not see these blacks masking themselves in the Avenue, called Seventh, followed into the thoroughfare the fences of the offending people hurrying home from their carnival of noise without reason". Ah, dear Floyd, tonight the element of noise without reason is the better class of noise we, first, rinailed, then came a bit too unsufficient to stay these rowdies making the most of an opportunity which comes to them but once a year." To which Floyd readily agreed, my Lucette, as it was his own hand which treated an idiot in his house, which he cannot so readily destroy, regarding that in this New Year we will all show a greater spirit of co-operation, which, my darling, you will admit as as fine a thought of course, young manhood, and to this end of course, the right course they carry, is apparently unaware that the majority of those same pictures are first sent out through the Amsterdam Newa. Hey, hey! DID you notice the wonderful tribute paid to those turning out the Amsterdam News by the New York News last week? It was great, and, personally, we think that something concrete should be done to show the mark of respect to the Montreal Coliseum and the world most likely personally informs the causal investigator they consider dummy. Word for word reproduced many articles from the columns of the Amsterdam News, and if they be deemed respectfully naïve in their issue of December 15th, a story from the Brooklyn page and absent all the court news, reproduced without as much as changing the heads. All my darling Lucette, it is true that they will blaze a trail to your door if you show the least signs of greatness. It is to laugh! SOMB startling news that will surely interest you is at hand. You board the suspension of the Tattler, yes? Well, soon there will be two Tattlers where before there was only one. Messre, Jackson and Bain wooded and started the New York Tattler, and soon with the Inter-State Tattler next week. The Jackson-Bain team at least carried some of the cuts with them.

New Edition ELEVEN Rough Tactics Give Celtics Game by Small Margin Over Renaissance Five Thousands Jam Manhattan Casino to Witness Thrilling Battle — Colored Team Staged Sensational Rush From the Rear — Showed Superior Qualities Against Champion White Team TO THOSE white people who witnessed the game in Manhattan Casino last Saturday night between the world-beating Celtic Five and the colored basketball champions of the world, known as the Renaissance Five, must have been a terrible disappointment, as a moment's thought showed that the Negroes more than measured up to this famous white combination, and but for rough-house methods brought into play early in the game, Africa would have again scored an unquestionable triumph. The lightest man on the Celtic team was heavier than the heaviest man on the Renaissance team, and some of the whites towered almost a foot over such a player as Clarence (Fat) jenkins. Given equal size and weight, America would again witness what to the whites would be an anomaly, in that no team in this broad united land would be able to come with the Renaissance Five. SHELVET Best Sport in Greater New Rough Tactics Give Small Margin Over Thousands Jam Manhattan in Battle — Colored Rush From the Rear cities Against Champion TO THOSE white people in Manhattan Casino last world-heating Celtic Fight champions of the world, know must have been a terrible thought showed that the Negro to this famous white combo house methods brought into p would have again scored an w The lightest man on the the heaviest man on the Re the whites towered almost a Clarence (Fat) Jenkins. GI America would again witness be an anomoly, in that no t would be able to cope with Then, too, there is the vast fund of experience with which the Renaissance had to cope. Under all these handicaps the Douglas men came from the rear, demoralized the great Celtics and only lost by a margin of one basket. About five thousand fans saw the best reason in the world for again turning out when the Renaissance Fell decided to meet the Celtics in a return engagement. Our boys played a game of which they can very well ground despite the fact that it was theirs from the start but poor foul shooting gave the whites the only chance which they enjoyed to wrest victory from them. It was at this phase of the game that the Renaissance players fell down hardest, although hard luck was their innumerable times when they would send the bounding sphers into the basket and it would curve out again. The fact that they enjoyed so many opportunities to shoot proved that they more than held their own from a physical standpoint in that they were able to stand at great height, handle such high methods and experience enough to get the ball and play it into their own territory. Then there was the evident fear of Renaissance when Celtics on more than one occasion got the ball and found it almost impossible to break through the defense of the colored boys. On these occasions it was nothing but the razzing of the crowd that gave Celtics a certain desperate resolve which WONDERFUL NEW DISCOVERY WHITENS AND CLEARS YOUR SKIN AFTER A FEW TREATMENTS Banish Freckles.

Thursday and Friday Jan. 5, 6 and 7 forced them to put the sphere into play only to find their smaller opponents right there with them. Oh, it was a thriller, this came. The first half opened with Celtics showing hot hand and a referee who gave the colored players the wrt to it. This period ended 17-10, favor of the whites, with a house predominantly colored and one which imagined that it was an over out on shooting. They reckoned not with the spirit of such men as Saunders. Satch, Final, Jenkins, Mayers, Shoacu, the famous ghost, the wrt, the wrt, the wrt, the wrt was forced to get the hardest games of his career against Holman. Ricks would have been in there for his shooting ability, b it it took more than that to play Holman and it took George Fiall to do it. The second half found both teams batting hard with Renissance determined that Celtics should know they were in a battle even though they would, perhaps, come out on top. No quarter was a-ked and -none -efyen. Renissance, heckled and worked foul tactics, but did not concentrate on retaliating and concentrated on playing the game. This they did to the queen's taste. Six points were all that the famous whites could garner in this half, with Renissance 'keeping them from running wild and at the same time slowly but surely working up to them. With but three minutes to play things got so warm the spectators were having all kinds of fits. Renissance cut the air for a field goal. Two fouls and a repeat sent the house into spaams of joy. With but one minute to play Renissance sent the ball through for a safe goal and at this period we are almost glad our boys did not bring the other three points that would have given them the game, for the spectators were on edge and had these events taken place earlier in the game and our players tied the score, the sight of thousands of spectators storming the court would have been enacted for all hands were over elated at the remarkable showing put up by Renissance. Those five colored men adding basketball history would have been swept off their feet to the shoulders of the rabid fans and the game would have ended right then and there. In the last few seconds of play Celtic became desperate and had the battle of Manhattan right upon their shoulders. Renalssance had thrown the last basket which brought them within two points of tearing and three of winning, and we have never seen such nervousness on the part of the Celtic followers as was exhibited at this period. Three minutes before Celtics became so demoralized they started to shoot at the Renalssance WORLD'S CHAMPIONS enter) and Renaissance Five basket and their followers admits and heart failure. But the whistle came and brought with it a great big sigh of relief to both Celtic and those who came with her. Renaissance had thrown out her 20-minute dash and proclaimed danger contenders.

This aggregation of ball-tossers are not new to fans and will be led by "Six" Garcia, formerly in the reserve line of the Renaissance Five.

Turned In One of His Most Heroic Games Last Saturday Night at Manhattan Casino. When the Renaissance Five Battled Toe to Toe With the Celtics and Was Just Barely Nosed Out by Two Points. Grant and Monte were also Renaissance players who were released by "Bob" Douglas, and while they do not say so, still many believe that these boys entertain hopes of hooking up with the Renaissance eventually and making a heavy bid for championship honors. Their first game will see them facing the Starling Greys at the Renaissance Casino, which will be their home court and where they will appear every week. Of course, we need not remind the boys that they will have to put up some sterring games to get into and remain in the good graces of the fans. Teams which the Renaissance have met and handily defeated must be given the same dose by the new Harlem Big Five before they can hope to demand the recognition which their competitors have enjoyed. Be that it may, the boys believe that enough interest has been created in basketball to warrant a mid-week game with dancing, and at least the opening night should draw a full house of fans and fanettes. Even if they are on the losing end against good teams, many fans will root for them, depending on the brand of basketball they uncover. Renaissance lost to Celtics on Saturday night, but the kind of game they played did not lose them one follower. On the contrary, they added new fans to a facial hang list by the great dash ready to hear, and it is now up to the Harlem Big Five to say whether we should jump in the breach early or late and demand that chance for a stab at the championship which they feel should be theirs. The newly renovated Renaissance casino makes an ideal home court for any team and with good music will add materially to the induction for fans to patronize the games. tions, piano and other instruments instrumental compositions, and skills of origi- nal composition. WAS IT A CRICKET GAME? WAS IT A CRICKET GAME? You Would Think So by the Way the Tuskegee Girls Scored in This Contest TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. Jan. 1.—The Tuskegee girls' basketball team, former southern champions, opened their 1956-57 season on Wednesday afternoon. Dec. 28, by sweeping over the Cincinnati, N.Y. girls, 59 to 50 in the institute gymnasium before a large and enthusiastic crowd of students and teachers. From the first loss of the ball it was evident that the visitors were outclassed. The Doyle-McCullough - Lindsay - Birch-Gordon combination left the "Y" girls dazed. It was the lack of decision that cut down the visitors' scores, for when in possession of the ball their defense leaked and before the attack could be readjusted Gordon or Adams had tossed the ball to the combination and the scorekeeper marked up two more for Tuskegee. In spite of the unusual strain of fifteen-minute halves, the Tiger girls, who have been playing by quarters, had run up 43 points to the visitors' two when the whistle blew at the end of the half. Couch Roberts opened the second period with a new lineup except for Lindsay and Birch. The smooth work of the first period was lacking; several substitutions were made and there was a continual fouling by both teams. During the second half the visitors added one point while the home team chalked up sixteen.

Bell's Parents' Golden Wedding Former Eastern Representative of Pittsburgh Courier Son of Couple Celebrating Anniversary The December 8 issue of the Harbados Advocate brought with it an interesting story of the fifthth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Bell. We had hoped to reproduce the story long ere this, but lack of space prevented. Says the Advocate: "On Monday night a very pleasant function took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Bell, James street, when they celebrated the fiftieth anniversary golden wedding of their marriage. Mr. Bell is the late foreman of the Public Works Department and is a highly respected member of this community. Invitations were issued to the relatives and some of the friends of the late ppy couple and great majority of the invited guests responded by attending. Those who were unable replied expressing their sincere regret at their unavoidable absence. Speechmaking was indulged in, and the toast to the King having been moved, Mr. Rawle Parkinson, in a eulogistic and humorous speech, moved the toast to the host and hostess." "Mr. Bell replied to the toast in a felicitous manner, giving his guests some reminiscences of his married life. The gift of a ring to Mrs. Bell by her husband and of a golden cross, suspended from a silk black cord, to Mr. Bell by his wife was a fitting termination of a most enjoyable evening. We congratulate them on their golden wedding and wish them continued health for many years to come." Mr. and Mrs. Bell are the father and mother of Geo. M. Bell of 52 West 108th street, New York City, well known in spring and paper circles. Mr. Bell was for some time the eastern representative of the Pittsburgh Courier. Several years ago when basketball was in its infancy Mr. Bell was manager of the Cymna A. C. and more recently organized and managed the famous New York Deb girl's basketball team. Mr. Bell is now an employee in the Madison Square Park Office. Sixteen years ago Mr. Bell married Miss Ethel Hopper of Poughkeepsie and has and has two daughters, Alma and the late Eleanor Waddell High School, and Orga, who is in 6 B at St. Mark's Catholic School in 138th street.

Two thousand frantic spectators cheered and yelled themselves hoarse while the game progressed, from the time of the first toss-up until the timekeepers sounded the curfew ending the conflict. The winner was never sure of victory until the end, for the accuracy and skill of Quentin Hand of Alpha was ever a triple threat. "Stretch" Grant was the outstanding star of the winners. At the close of the game 200 Alpha came upon the floor, formed a circle around a quartet, of their cheer leaders, and lifted their voices to the tune of Alpha Phi Alpha, a spirit unprecedented; then they gave a series of cheers for the winning team. Though Alpha lost, their clean sportsmanship and undying spirit won the crown of the day. The gallery registered unquelled enthusiasm throughout the game. This game was successful from all ankies, and much praise is due to the entertainment we have at our entertainment. We are all eager to know when is the next one. ATHENIANS HOLD KAPPAS Revamped Baltimoreans Won Their Second Straight When They Took Game 32-31 The revamped Baltimore Athens won their second straight one point victory when they defeated the strong Kappa team of Howard University, 32 to 31. Last Monday night. The game was a thriller throughout, both teams alternating and at no time was there more than four points separating the teams. The first half ended 19 to 18 in Kappa's favor, due to the scintillating work of Simpson, Spears and Wheatley. It was just before the whistle blew to end the game that Harris tossed a field goal to put the Athentans in lead. Brown and Steller played great game for the winners. HEBREW GIANTS SLAUGHTERED Renaissance Five, Fresh From Great Game Against Celtics, Whips New Jersey Team If there was any doubt of the great popularity of the famous Renaissance Five, those doubts must have been dispelled, even in the minds of the impartial, after witnessing that splendid gathering that turned out to see them against the Hebrew Glants at the Renaissance Casino on Sunday night, just one night after they channelled fast and made the journey to Manhattan Casino to see the crack colored five open their New Year against America's greatest combination of basketball players. Keyed up for the Celtic game, the Hebrews fell into misfortune as the colored ladies retained the pace which they uncovered against the Celtics and when the Giants fell in their way, it was a slaughter, the first half ending 29-9 in favor of the local team. The final score was 54-19 with Renaissance running wild; and nothing to stop them. In the preliminary game for the Douglas Trophy the fast going St. Mark's Five defeated the boys-of the Stag A.C. by the score of 39-14. New Jersey seems to entertain the bug that they can defeat Renaissance at the old home court; and next Sunday night they will send Frank Brugg's Elizabeth Stars from the mosquito state to cross swords with the Douglas men. On the above occasion the Metro Five will meet the Mother Zion quintet in the preliminary. The Elizabeth Stars are made up of players in the big -Metropolitan League and are topnotchers in basketball. The game promises to be one of the best staged at the casino this season. Incidentally, we might mention that at Manhattan Casino New Year might be a little contested took place when the Metro Diamonds fell before the charge of the Majestics. The youngsters are all hit up over the dash for the trophy presented by Manager "Bob" Douglas at the end of the season. Hey, Hey, Fellows! We respectfully take this medium of advising our contemporaries, both local and national, that we are perfectly willing and even anxious to hand them galley proofs early every Tuesday evening of matter carried in these colmuns, thus saving, them the trouble, of being forced to scissors-and-paste it to their own journals without as much as an "if you don't mind" from them—that is, those clipping us to death even with the start of the New Year. We haven't got a thing against the boys in the game. Come get your pictures and cuts and do the same with the reading matter. We figure that we are not so bad after all is said and done and when one considers that we have reached that stage where we are forced to sing Salem Tutt Whitney's once famous little ballad, entitled "For the Sake of Yourself and the Community, Don't Do That to Me." it shows that our heart is in the right place.

Brooklyn, and judging from the great interest in the meet manifested by the large advance sale, the galaxy of well-known stars scheduled to compete in their favorite events will perform before a capacity house.

Colored Athlete First Find in Telegram Quest 500-yard race for the Governor Smith trophy will be one of the outstanding features of the meet. The field will probably consist of the following: Vincent Lally, sporting the colors of Columbus Council for the first time; Ray Clark, former Yale star; Jimmy Burgess of Georgetown University, former national quarter mile champion; Alan Helfrich, world's record holder for 600 yards; Coell Cooke of Syracuse University, intercollegiate quarter mile champion, and Al Williams of New York University, runner-up in the Metropolitan quarter mile championship last summer. It is a little early in the season to expect record breaking performances, but with such a splendid field of middle distance runners as the foregoing, the keen competition which is sure to result may be productive of a new world's record. The existing mark for 500 yards is 54 seconds and is held by Joe Tierney of the New York A. C. In the 100-yard dash the honor mark men will probably be Bob McAllister, the former "flying cop" and holder of the world's record for 100 meters; Chet Bowman, national 60-yard champion and world's record holder for that distance; Louis "Bark" world's record holder for 100 yards indoors, and Walter Coyle of Fordham University, one of the most promising young sprinters in the Metropolitan district. Phil Edwards of New York University and Willie Sullivan, the former Georgetown university middle distance star, and Gus Moore of St. Bonaventure College will probably be back yard men in the 600-yard run. HELLER BEATS TOM THOMAS Beecher's Club Amateur Too Much for Representative From the Salem-Crescent Herman Heller of Beecher's Club ran his string of victories to nineteen when he defeated Tom Thomas of the Salem-Crescent A. In a special 128-pound class out at the Stella Maris Council, Knights of Columbus, last Thursday night. Heller had little difficulty with the Salem-Crescent lad, stopping all of the latter's rushes with several stiff left jabs to the face. In several occasions Heller crossed his right and staggered the Salem fighter. There was little action displayed by either scraper. Thomas is showed plenty of pep, but it roved of no avail. Heller was always ready for any attempted malausts. Thomas was in a bad way in the third frame when he took a hard right to the jaw. Tom staggered across the ring and against the ropes, but was able to weather the storm. Al Cohen of Beecher's Club scored the only knockout of the night when he put away Frank Martin of the Clark House in the second round of a 128-pound class battle. Cohen had the best of it throughout.

L. C. A PETER a week of rest and pleasure, track and field athletes will have to put in a week of atretensive training to whip into form, especially those who plan to compete in the K. of C. games at the 10th Infantry Armory, Brooklyn, on January 5. This meet has always been considered one of the best in past indoor seasons, and indications this year show that it may even exceed any of its predecessors in excellence. DR. VIVERUTO, chaleman of the Games Committee, has assured track followers of a rare treat to those taking the journey to the "City of Churchers." Several colored stars are listed on the program, and it is expected that there will be a great number of us present to cheer our boys to victory. CLAUDE "RANDY" TATIL, enervate football player and trackman of Tufts University, after a sojourn of a week or so in the city with his parents, returned to his Alma Mater. "RANDY" who is now a senior at his school, will start training for the track season as soon as classes reopen. Through his victory over Frank Hussey, world's interscholastic record holder of the "100," he is considered a dangerous man in sprint circles. Besides Craig La Vi, he was the only schoolboy to have defeated the former "schoolboy sensation." "RANDY" is even more popular in football circles, for while he was a student at Stuyvesant H. S. he was an all-scholastic choice on more than one occasion. During the football games between Tufts and Magen, he was one of his spinting ability by galloping over the field for a leagard touchdown. THE "Cassie Jones" one of the features of the Columbus Council, K. of C. track and field meet, will be the enclosure of eyes on January 8. This event has attracted an array of stars that can hardly be surpassed. There are two colored stars among the six starters for the governor. Aaron Brooklyn, of Syracuse University, and a quarter-mile champion, and Alison Williams of New York University, runner-up in the Metropolitan quarter-mile championship last summer. OTHER stars to compete in this invitation event are Alan Halfhill, world's top holder for the 600 yards; Jimmy Burgess, former national 400 yard champion; Ray Clark, former Yale star, and Vincent Lally, former St. Anselm's A. C. champion. DESIGN the fact that it is so early in the season, followers of track are looking forward to a record-breaking performance in this event, with the keen competition that is bound to ensue when such a formidable field of middle-distance stars meet. WHEN the entrants in the 1000-yard handover race face the starter's gum of Johnnie McLaughlin, which will set them off on their metropolitan course. Phil Edwards and this Moore will more than likely be seen sharing the honor mark with Willie Sullivan, the former Georgetown University star. PIEH, ELOWARDS, since his arrival in this country from South America, has created much talk among cross-country and middle-distance men. During the last indoor and outdoor seasons he turned to some scholar performances for his Alma Mater, and this season he may even out his previous achievements, under the guidance of Coach Von Dilling, New York University's mentor. LITTLE need be said of Gus Moore, because he was one of the most popular of athletes in the metropolitan area during his scholastic career at Roy's Brooklyn. In making his collegiate debut we feel certain that he will retain the position in which his followers hold him by turning in a meticulous performance. CARLTON INNIS, former captain of the DeWitt Clinton track team and who is now a "foosie" at N. Y. U., is training diligently under the ability guidance of his coach for this indoor season. Though we have no official word of his entry in the 2007 at the K. F. games, we did not be surprised to see him matching studies with Bob McAllister, the "flying cop"; Louis Clarke, the star; and the Chee Bowman, former Syracuse '11 star and holder of the foul ball record, and others. Inns with his powerful stride, stamina and expert coaching, should prove a "thrill in the sails" of sprinter. The Sportive Spotlight Rollo Wilson came over from Philadelphia to assistance Celtic game at Manhattan Court for the Pittsburgh Courier, he was in the big throng. I have done Rollo's heart good to see a If W. Rollo Wilson came over from Philadelphia to report the Renaissance-Celtic game at Manhattan Casino' New Year's night for the Pittsburgh Courier, he was among those lost in the big throng. It would have done Rollo's heart good to see a crowd even larger than the old days when his dear Pittsburghers came to Gotham to put a wrinkle into our championship claims. Imagine Dosey being the genius behind such a combination that can draw and pack 'em to the ceiling at Manhattan Casino! Boxholders were forced to the front of their boxes by the hundreds that sought points of vantage and nobody could register a kick as the people had to at least find foot room. The stairs were crowded and it is doubtful if the new regime at the once famous Casino ever saw such a large gathering at the place since they came into power. Hundreds failed to see the contest and had to guide their emotions by the action of those in front of them. Frank (Strangler) Forbes was the most disappointed man in the house. Here was a game in which he could have gained fame, name and great glory, for the Celtics were rough-housing it and "Strangler" used to be one of the best football men that ever handled the pigskin for Howard University. Then one must remember that he got the name of "Strangler" for the kind of work which would have been in order New Year's night. Gee, what a time it would have been with Frank on the court and with instructions to "get" his man! The night is one which leads us to the belief that the great Cumberland Posey will now entertain thoughts of coming to Manhattan to try conclusions with the Renaissance. Of course, if Posey understands that we here in New York will do the dictating by virtue of the position we hold in basketball today we will perhaps entertain the idea of giving him a chance for a big come-back, but if "Cum" is still laboring under the delusions superinduced by the couple hundreds that find it hard to squeeze their way into that hall of sardine box dimensions in the City of Smoke, then he had better decide to confine his efforts to those places that would go nutty if they can glimp the kind of crowds turning out to see the Renaissance here. It has always been the contention of "Bob" Douglas that another good colored basketball team would afford healthy competition in these parts. Wednesday night, Jan. 12, another attempt will be made to throw into being a new team made up of old players and when they reach that stage where they think they are in a position to question the supremacy of the Renaissance. "Bob" will gladly entertain a proposition from them for a big game. "Six" Garcia, formerly with the Renaissance, will captain the new outfit, which will include such well known players as "Specks" Moten, "Hop" Hubbard, "Hackey" Rhone, "Hy" Monte, "Tucker" Waddell and "Stretch" Grant. A few years back we told of the unsportsmanlike methods which can be found at the seat of both amateur and professional athletics in this country and recent disclosures in both lines of athletic endeavor seem to bear us out. In baseball the fans are trying to make believe they entertain doubts of games being thrown, while in college football it is being suddenly discovered that professional methods have always played a big part. Which, naturally, makes us laugh when we look back to those days when certain men in the amateur ranks boasted to their fellows of how well they were doing—commercially. The rottenness of boxing is no secret.

Olsson and Mason, of High Schools Games Committee The mask that shades the face of the "outstanding athlete of 1926" will be uncovered in The New York Telegram's series which starts today. It is a sequel to the "Most Valuable Athletes of 1925," in which Hubert Baylis, Jamaica's all-around star, was selected from the thirty-one athletes who won that honor in their respective schools. The "outstanding athletes of 1926" will be chosen by the scholastic editor of The Telegram and ratified by the Interscholastic Sports Writers' Association, after the thirty-one representatives have been picked. The latter will be selected by members of the High School Games Committee, Faculty Athletic Committees and coaches. As the opening gun in our quest, the name of Robert Catherall is the first placed on the roll of honor. Catherall was selected as the representative of Theodore Roosevelt by Nils W. Olsson. Roosevelt delegate on the H. S. G. C. and one of the outstanding colored athletes of the day. Catherall is an all-around athlete. He captained the soccer team and is a sprinter. For two seasons he has played third base on the baseball team and is a substitute on the court basketball quintet. Catherall is a junior. Those who were awarded honorable mention by Mr. Olsson are Joseph Golden, basketball captain and a regular for two seasons, sprinter and outfielder; Alfred Hyman, baseball and basketball; James McLoughlin and Moron Godt. Mason Selects Smith. For Stuyvesant, Appleton A. Mason, who was reelected treasurer of the High Schools Games Committee at its last meeting, selected Ernest Smith. In all around proficiency Smith led the others at Stuyvesant. He was one of the stellar performers on Coach John Shaw's football eleven and is now playing forward on the basketball five. The first peculiarity of the series crops up from those chosen by Mr. Mason as deserving of honorable mention. In this list the Ogloio twins have been picked. Both were above the average soccer players and both played baseball last spring. Eddie Everard, track captain, whose high jumping feats made him a constant scorer for Stuyvesant, is awarded second place. Others given honorable mention are Walter Hall, one of the best divers in P. S. A. L. ranks, and Peter Lechnowitz, swimming captain and an all-around aquatic star. Sigmas Win From Kappas BY DR. NEWTON E. DOUGLAS NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 25 Coach Washington's charges won another hard fought game Christmas night from the fast Kappa Alpha Psi basketballers before a house packed to the fullest capacity. The teams were so nearly matched that a five-minute extra period was necessary to decide the victor. The game finally ended with Phi Bota Sigma in the lead, 14 to 12. To attempt to pick the stars would be too difficult so great was the work of each individual player. Oliver, playing his first game at center, was in every play and handled himself as if he had been an old regular. Both Bailey and Tompkins were consistent threats, each making two field goals. Austin and Grant, in their guard positions, were difficult to get through, as the low score would indicate. Sorrell, as usual, was high score man, with six points. Stewart scored three points and broke up the game in the extra period. Captain Brown followed Sorrell in scoring, with four points to his credit. This enough to say that one point before quitting the game. This was the last game for the Kappas and Sigmas during the first half. The Kappas have won one game and lost two, while the Sigmas lead the league with three straight games or wins. erty Magazine, that it was the now a certain prominent white ing towards helping a benefit f leary and would hate to be per because such a cause is not on cause he is afraid of the under the politicians.

BENNETT JOE FERDINAND of the Salem - Crescent Athletic Club Will Be Among the Amateur Contestants at Madison Square Garden on Monday Night. NEGRO BOXERS WILL APPEAR At Big Amateur Bouts at Madison Square Garden Next Monday Night The amateur boxers who always give plenty of action every minute they are in the ring will fight just a little harder than usual at Madison Square Garden next Monday night when they engage in a big inter-city tournament, the proceeds of which will go to aid in erecting the press and sport bays in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. These busy, interesting youngsters will be out to top their very best efforts not only because the show in a way is their own benefit, aiding it as does the representation of sport in the Cathedral, but rottenest game of all. Right sport writer, who has a leanor Sam Langford, is somewhat sonally identified with it. Notice of the most worthy, but becover stuff and what he terms swimmers are about to enter well, well! Most commend a chance, me worthies. Everyhaving any kind of a break and condition can measure up to --- Bruce Flowers at Walker A. C. also because of the urge of each contestant, to bring the highest laurels to his city. New York, of course, will be well represented by some of the best boxers in each class, while Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia, Buffalo and Canada will send their most capable youngsters to engage in the battle for supremacy. While designated as merely an inter-city tournament, the winner of each class will have a strong claim on the championship of that territory east of the Mississippi. The boxers will be matched by the officials of the metropolitan association of the A. A. U. who are well acquainted with their respective abilities. This will guarantee hard-fought, evenly contested matches. In all there will be 20 bouts, ranging from the flyweight class to the heavyweight division. Each class will have four competitors and the tournament will be decided in one night, semi-finals and finals both being on exhibition next Monday. Some of the country's leading colored amateur boxers will be very much in evidence. Joe Ferdinand of the Salem-Crescent Club, said to be one of the best bantams in the country, is going out to send the colors of his club to the top of the mast. AL BROWN COPS HIS THIRD BOUT But Judges Failed to Function Right and Europeans Heatedly Hoot Decision for Scillie SPARROW ROBERTSON, writing in the Paris Edition of the Herald, tells us that Al Brown, the American colored fighter, and Henri Scillie, the European bantam-weight, according to the judges, fought a twelve-round draw at the Cirque de Paris last month. Brown, as usual, entered the ring doing his Charleston, and he received a rousing reception. "Red" Scillie, the Belgian, was also well received on his entry to the square circle—better, in fact, on his entry than when he left the ring after the judges gave a draw decision. In the opening round Brown outboxed the European champion, and tied him up in knots from bell to bell. The round was all in favor of the American boxer. In the second round Scillie did some very clever boxing and landed several hard right and lefts to the face. Brown tried hard to get a knockout over but the Belgian boy managed to take all that Brown could give and he finished out a winner of the session. In the third round Brown started to rush matters immediately after the bell, and he landed a hard left to the face and a right to the body. Scillie then landed a hard left to the body, which did not please the colored boy any too much. The round ended about even. The fifth round found Scillie forcing the milling right from the beil and he did fine execution with left hand to the face. If anything the Belgian had the best of the round. In the seventh round Brown started to rush matters and he landed two left to the face and a right to the body without a return. Scillie then landed a hard left to the face and a right to the body. Brown then danced all around the Belgian boy and finished out the round a winner by a good margin. In the eighth round Brown was in and out, and made Scillie look like a novice for the greater part of the session. Scillie did, however, manage to land a hard right to the jaw which shook Brown up quite a little. The round went to Brown on his clever work. in the ninth round shortly after the bell Scillie landed a right and left to face without a return. Then it was close, boxing and the Belgian put in some hard body punishment. A few seconds before the bell clanged for the finish of the round Brown tried with a hard right for the jaw, but it missed by just a few inches. When the bell rams the two were mixing matters in a lively, manner. and Brown was a bit dazed and went to the wrong corner of the ring. The tenth, eleventh and last rounds went to Brown and when the judges rendered their decision of a draw there were cat-calls from all over the arena. The running-up bouts had the two feather-weight's Coxhill and Tassin going eight rounds to a draw. Beratil and Gavala, a pair of welter-weight's, had a ten-round draw, and the middle-weight Nitram stopped Egrel in the last session of a ten-round bout. THIRTEEN Black Bill Going in Against Blas Rodriquez and Canada Lee Will Look Up With Sammy Marlo At the Walker A. C., the closing Saturday night, the fur should be unrestrainedly, as the card arranged for the evening's entertainment of the large number of fans expected out will go down as one of the best, so far, since the new management took charge of the former home of the Commonwealth Sporting Club under the guidance of the astute Jess McMahon. Bruce Flowers, who should be given a chance against Mandell now that the New Rochelle boy has waved aside all opposition by the sweep of his trusty mitts, will meet Jackie Brady in the star offering of the night. This will bring out more than the usual quota of fans as Flowers has been going, great guns. Another bout that should carry an unusual appeal is the one which will bring together Black Bill and Blas Rodriguez. We are told that Rodriguez is one of the best little men at his weight and will make the going tough for Bill. In spite of the prediction of dire things to happen to the little dark Cuban, we opine that if he is in the mind to fight he will win handily from Rodriguez. The next bout which will arouse a great deal of interest among the fans will be that which will see Canada Lee and Sammy Marlo in action. Canada has piled up a remarkable record since he left the amateurs and had the distinction of being robbed of the decision in his last start at the same club. He is out to wipe out the blot placed upon his scutcheon by the judges and should add another quick K. O. to his already long list. THEY CAN BE HAD. ALRIGHT! THEY CAN BE HAD. ALRIGHT! ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Jan. 1. —J. Richard Lee and his champion hunting band of Tuxedo Tigers invaded the lair of the Buccaneers and had their tail twisted to the rune of 36-12. The Tigers had reinforcements, "Lanky" Jones, "Pinky" Clark and Talmadge Hill, the stalwart Morgan College trio, in the line-up, but the Bucs were on, and stealing the "invaders" stuff, outpassed, outsmarted and outshot the "Orangesites." In the preliminary game the Bucs' Reserves defeated the South Jersey Flashes, 29-25. N.Y. TUNEDO TIGERS (50) Howard. E. Hill Brooks. F. Clark Stanfield. G. Jones Green. G.

The chief energies of our day and time are devoted to the production and distribution of wealth. What we shall eat, what we shall drink and wherewithal shall we be clothed, engage a large part of the effort of the age and country in which we live. Not only so, but material wealth constitutes the condition for the development of the so-called higher and finer faculties of our nature. To say that the Negro should not share as fully as he can in the enjoyment of wealth would be to write one self down as a self-conditioned simpleton. The Negro race stands most surely in need of wealth in order to provide the conditions essential to right liv- Colored People Have Under Recent Reections Than President SOME forty years ago.

The doctrine of industry, thrift and economy is elementary in any rational race program. The Negro's greatest relative deficiency lies in the domain of politics and economics. He constitutes one-tenth of the population and owns less than one per cent of the wealth and exerts no calculable fraction of political power. On the other hand, on the scale of in- Colored People Have Fared No Better Under Recent Republican Administrations Than They Did Under President Wilson SOME forty years ago, Samuel U. Downing, of Newport, Rhode Island, one of the great political leaders of the Negro race, made the shrewd observation that the most successful leader of the colored race was the white man. Mr. Downing was denounced from the pulpit, the platform and from the mouth of every Negro who could form an intelligent phrase. That assertion, made by Mr. Downing at a time when the Negro had merely begun to realize that there was such a thing as politics, contains more real truth at the present day than it contained then. In national politics the Negro has made the white man's advice and direction his gospel; so that although he has been completely left out of consideration in the councils of both the Republican and Democratic parties he continues to give great credence to the policies that white politicians advanced for his guidance. Since the year when the Republican party took possession of the national Capitol, the Nogro has fared no better than he had fared during the previous administration. Lynching and disfranchisement has steadily marched on; peonage in the States of Florida, Georgia and Mississippi is rampant. With all this one would expect the colored political workers to become indignant; one would expect them to send up skyrockets of protest; to make the welkin ring with their denunciation of the administration which has permitted this outrageous condition to exist. When the Harding administration took hold of the reins of the national Government, the colored henchmen assured black America that a new day had dawned. Lynching would be reduced to the minimum; legislation would be introduced in the Congress which would cut down the representation of the Southern Congressmen; discrimination would cease in the various departments of government at Washington, and a new era was at hand for the Negro citizen. ANTI-LYNCH LAW FAILS. The Republican party, in the year 1922, with a safe majority of votes, in both houses of the Congress, failed to pass the anti-lynching law, which was to all Negroes the most important piece of protective legislation introduced since the late Henry Caleb Lodge risked his political reputation by introducing the fa- age.

Neither President Harding nor Coolidge found it necessary to line up the votes of the Republican majority in Congress to pass this bill. Yet, after each failure of the white Republicans to redeem their often repeated pledges to the race, the Negro spokesmen of the party defend the national Republican administration. From the sage of Tuskegee comes the assurance that "the Music in THE United States is ad- ing a knowledge of m people.

Year by year the number of towns and communities observing National Music Week is increasing. Music festivals are becoming quite common, and even grand opera is being brought within the reach of people of limited means.

Music memory contests have become a regular part of the yearly program.

Music in the Nursery By ELIZABETH FULGHAM intelligence, morals and religion, the Negro holds a creditable relative place. We are often misled by idle boastings concerning the wonderful material progress which the race has made. This progress is admirable only when measured by the advance over the point of beginning. It is wholly without meaning when compared with the possessions of the white race. It is calculated that the Negro has accumulated two billion dollars' worth of property. These figures fill well the mouth of the mob creator who seeks applause by appealing to the vanity and conceit of the multitude. The wealth of the nation is estimated at three hundred billions of dollars, or approximately three thousand dollars per capita. Whereas the per capita holdings of the Negro would be something like two hundred dollars. A large part of his holdings is in the nature of home ownership, which have no productive power. His farm holdings are about his only possession that has the potentiality of capital. Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller between them own more wealth than all of the ten million Negroes combined. It is easy to point out in any community a single white man who owns more wealth than all of the Negroes of that jurisdiction. In a comparative or connective sense the black man's wealth is all but wholly a negligible quantity. And yet, the comparison is not complete. Dead wealth, such as is tied up in home ownership, does not count for power. A much larger proportion of the white man's possessions is of the nature of effective capital. Practically every dollar of Mr. Ford's immense holdings is put out at usury to produce still more capital. On the other hand, the Negro's holdings are for a great part in the nature of unproductive home ownership. If we must rely upon wealth to the most wealth would commonsolve the race problem, it seems the most rights. According to the quite clear that the Negro does not scheme of apportionment, on now, nor is likely in the near white man would be entitled to a future, to command enough of the much of rights as five million filth here to materially affect the Negroes. Beyond the necessitile outcome. If rights are to be based of a decent livelihood, the Negro upon wealth, then the man who has wealth is comparatively insignificant. President is yearning to serve the race"; from West Virginia. Charlie Mitchell tells us that he has seen the President and that he has great things in store for the Negroes of the United States"; from Washington we are told by the "Black Cabinet" that Mr. Coolidge is confronted by great obstacles in his endeavor to advance the cause of the American Negro; and Kelly Miller assures us that the President has not forgotten his duty to the colored citizen. In New York, colored newspapers write long and monotonous editorials of praise on the recent message of Mr. Coolidge on the state of affairs in the nation. Even such an urgent necessity as the Congressional appropriation to Howard University met with horrible treatment in the present Congress and a compromise had to be met by reducing its provisions. Surveying the relationship which the Negro bears to the national administration and to its party, it is surprising that the entire Negro race in the United States has not been already disfranchised. Here are more than 12,000,000 colored people relying upon the good graces of white politicians to do favors for them; to give them positions; to protect the race in its constitutional rights: For nearly fifty years the party has met in convention and resolved that the colored citizen is entitled to the protection of the Federal Constitution; for nearly fifty years the white politicians have assured the colored politician that the "Republican party will protect the Negro in his rights." For nearly thirty years the Congress of the nation has met in session after session without a black representative on its rolls; for nearly half a century the colored citizen has been told that he has but to pile up large majorities for the Republican party—in those sections of the country where he has the vote—and that the party will keep him secure in the rights the Nursery H.

Beyond the necessities Negro contribute labor and derive wealth is comparatively insignificant as Political By EDGAR M. GREY which the Constitution has guaranteed to him. Year after year with the connivance of the leaders of the Republican party, the "Citywhiteism of the South has been operated as the lever to expel the Negro from power and numerical representation in the "Grand Old Party," and yet the faith of the colored political spokesman has not even been shaken. Why was all of this possible because the Negro has not been the equal of other Republicans; he has been the servant of other Republicans; he has served to keep the enthusiasm strong in the party, and the white man has cashed in upon his enthusiasm and upon his votes and his loyalty. One of the queer facts of the Negro's political history is that, unlike the other racial elements in the Republican party, his only representatives in that party are selected from sections of the United States where the Negro has no security in his vote and, consequently, does not risk the danger of voting except when the white political masters of those regions induce him to vote. In the State of Mississippi, in the Presidential elections of 1827, the number of Negroes who qualified to vote was less than four hundred in the entire State. Yet, the Republican party has seen fit to select a national committeeman from that State in State of Georgia, where the lynching and disfranchisement record of the State is still at the highest point of barbarism yet reached in the United States, the Negro race is represented in the Republican national affairs by a committeeman from that State. The result is that, since all other national committeemen are selected by the leaders of the Republican party by a strict organization vote, based on a numerical status representing party support in the particular State, the Negro representatives First, let me say that I have rarely rocked any of my babies to sleep with singing in the old-fashioned way, but I cannot number the times I have played them to sleep. My eldest, a boy, was one month old when his musical training began. If that sounds extreme, all I ask of any mother is to give this method of wooing sleep to restless little eyelids a fair trial. I used selections in which the harmony and rhythm are peculiarly soothing. Dvorsak's Humoresque is splendid; Melody in F is also, and there are numerous others. Repeatedly I have had my son, when crying as loudly as his strong lungs would permit, cease the instant he heard the first chords of the piano. He very soon leapt to cry for the music: if I stopped playing his walls began again. Usually, however, it required not more than five minutes, ten at most, to get him safely into dreamland. NEGRO NATIONAL cant, and is likely to remain so as to arab ahead as we can now foresee. Machinery of our civilization is equipped and engineed for the production of wealth. Aggregated capital is monopolizing a larger and larger share in the development and exploitation of material things. The Negro cannot command competitive capital.

Washington was his often expressed belief that when the Negro gained comparative wealth, then the white man would respect him. Respect that must be bought with money is no respect at all. If the Negro owned the mortgages on white men's homes, in the present inflamed state of racial feeling, it would prove to be an unsalutary ownership. How can we hope that money will solve the race problem, when by clear observation we see that it lies at the root of most of the inharmonies of the world today? The World War was the outgrowth of the competitive struggle for wealth. The estrangement between Europe and America is caused by disputed balance of debit and credit, Capital and labor, those who have and those who have not are at each other's throats, all over the world. Every high thinker in the world today foresees that there must be a new economic order in which the money motive must be supplanted by the services motive before we can hope to bring about peace on earth and good-will among men. In the economic equation, the Negro contributes nothing but his labor and derives little more than the bare necessities of a living. This have no voice in the deliberations and affairs of the committee and only sit around, look wise, and bring to the Negro race messages of good cheer after each session. If those national committeemen were real; that is, if they were elected because of a numerical basis of party support, they would be directly obligated to carry out and to represent the desires of the voters who constitute the numerical representation which formed the basis upon which they were elected; and if they failed to insist upon the passage of measures entrusted to their care, they would be replaced by other persons whose interest and honesty should serve to effect the ends desired by those whose votes had given them membership in the national party council. In the case of the colored members of the Republican national committee no such check and balance exist. The colored national committeemen go to the sessions of that body without the slightest responsibility to anybody except to the white leaders; to them they owe their elevation to high places; to them they are pledged to service. While this state of affairs continues, the colored representative is secure only in his privilege of doling out Federal jobs in the South and, since the colored population in the regions from which he comes to the national committee has no instrument of protest, he is secure in his membership on the committee until the time of his death, and even after that the person designated to succeed him must meet with his approval. MUST ELECT The time has arrived when the colored citizen must exact the same kind of representation in party councils as other Republicans. He must organize central bodies made up of voters from all sections of the United States where the Negro still has. This early training continually shows its effect. At two or three years he would stop in the midst of interesting play in the yard when he heard me at the piano, come in and remain by me as long as I would play for him. He is six years old now, and very fond of good music. He is not a musical prodigy either, just a normal boy. I have never given him a music lesson, though I shall perhaps in another year or two. Will a child less than a year old show any preference with regard to the music he hears? I am experimenting with that question, and I have begun to think some bubbles may. Humoresque seemed to be most effective with my eldest, but the second was always more restless. He seemed to prefer something with a swiffer movement. I do not say positively that he did, but anyway Sindling a Rustle of Spring seemed most EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS few who gain more are the rare and fortunate exceptions. We have before us the sad spectacle of Negroes imitating the white men by trying to gain wealth by lazily means, but who too often bring themselves and their gaped victims to grief. Every reader of this article can count ministers of the gospel who have brought disgrace upon themselves and scandal upon the church by the mad rush for wealth. Our forefathers, in the dark days of slavery, when they found themselves chained to a helpless position, cried out in the depth of their distress; "You may have all the world; give me Jesus." Sophisticated Negroes today laugh at their surrender. Ministers of the gospel ridicule it. I have heard Frederick Douglas hold the idea up to derision. And yet on close analysis this proves to be the utterance of profound wisdom. There was no human possibility for them to get possession of this world's goods under the bonds of slavery. They were only abandoning to the white man that which he already possessed. It was but the wisdom of the fox who, on finding that the grapes hung beyond his reach, vindicated his impotence by denouncing them as sour. But after all, this seeming surrender preserved to the race the higher value. The term Jesus involved all that they could understand of the higher culture of the mind and spirit. The Negro today might do worse than to imitate their sazacity by interpreting their meaning in terms of present conditions. The white race possesses the railroads, steamships, the ore of the mines and the piloted billions of accumulated wealth. This he holds without the the ballot and keep in touch with the general activities of the colored voter throughout the United States. The membership in the central organization must be based upon actual votes cast in a national election; the community casting the greater number of votes in a Presidential year should have the largest number of representatives in the central committee. The purpose of this committee should be to serve as a clearing house for all matters affecting the colored race. The representatives to the Republican national party councils should be selected by this central organization, and the members of the central organization should in turn be selected by the colored voters in the community in which they reside. This scheme or some similar one is the only salvation open to the colored citizen. At the present time the colorful citizen's relationship to the party is based upon the favor-taking policy which has brought him to his present political destination. He is at present the servant in the house of the white political rich man; he must lick the boots of his masters, even though he has in his possession the same political weapon as his master. There is no independent organization among colored citizens; he has never seen it to effect any internal organization outside of and apart from the Republican organization. There is no united political opinion. Unlike other citizens he lacks the conception of organization in terms of his own peculiar needs, regardless of the needs of any organization to which he claims membership, or to which he belongs. The Jew, the Italian, the Pole, the Hungarian, the German, the Englishman, the Irishman, the Catholic, the Methodist, all units of the American population and religious divisions except the Negro, maintain a system of internal organ- effective with him. My baby girl shows a tendency to have a disposition like the eldest. I am using Humoresque. Traumerel, Spring Song and things of that type with her. I hope this will not appear far fetched, or out of reach of the ordinary mother. I am ordinary myself. I do my own housework and care for three children, and then do some other things besides. Naturally, I do not have much time to devote to practice, and so it has been a great blessing to me to discover this method of handling my children. It is good for their nerves and mine as well. I put them to bod at a regular hour, leaving the bedroom door open so that they may hear the piano plainly, and then I have a little time for music that I would not otherwise have. A mother who does not play any instrument can easily try this experiment with the victoria "Money Will Not Solve the Race Problem, but the Race Problem Cannot Be Solved Without Money," Writer Concludes Negro Republican National Committee Come From States Where Lynching Is Rampant and Where Right to Vote Is Practically Denied Negro's let or hindrance. He is secure in his undisputed possession. It is but a protective philosophy for the Negro to proclaim: "Bar if you will the way to wealth and power, but keep open the doorway of hope to the soul." Race prejudice will not yield to material wealth. The rich Negro is jim-crowed along with his papaer brother. Segregation is directed at the prosperous Negro. I know a block in Washington built up in part of fine houses and in part of smaller and less pretentious ones. White people occupied the more pretentious dwellings and Negroes the smaller ones without race friction in the neighborhood, but one day some prosperous Negro undertook to buy one of the finer residences. The result was the city-wide agitation over the segregation issue culminating in a blighting decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. It was the inspired Peter who admonished Peter the sonnerer that he could not purchase the gift of God with money. The Jew with all of his wealth cannot secure complete equality with Gentile America. Nowhere in the world can he purchase the rights for his race. The Negroes are the only element who labor under the vain delusion that money will solve their problems. The of Negro Negro Republican men Come From S ing Is Rampant a Vote Is Prac ization without regard to their external relationship with any independent and separate body from themselves. This is a crying need among colored Americans and is surely one program upon which the advice of the white leader ought not to be sought. This is the one phase of his existence which calls for independent action and thought. To an impartial observer the colored citizen appers to be the dutiful stepchild at a party of brothers and sisters; he is not a part of the general scene, and must await the sympathy and charity of his foster-relatives before he feels confident that he may take part in the general hilarity. This must stop, because the general sympathy of the white stepbrother for the Negro has long ago ceased to exist. CHARITABLE FEELING NO LONGER EXISTING As the Negro demonstrates his economic and social progress the white American has taken it for granted that he has also demonstrated the limit of his political progress. He has reasoned that any people who have made the economic strides and the social gains that the Negro has made would, if they desired, show certain improvements in their political thinking. He has argued that the reason that the colored citizen has not indicated this change in his political life is because it is not his desire to take advantage of the improved condition which this change would bring to him. Consequently, he continues to treat with the colored citizen as though he were still a child liv- or radio, of course taking great care in her selections. For this purpose, only the very best should be considered. Pacific Coast Cotton WASHINGTON, D. C.—California has joined the ranks of the cotton-producing States. Remarkable success has resulted from the efforts to raise the staple crop, the yield per acre being greatly in excess of that of any of the old cotton-producing sections of the South, the quality being high and bringing a better price. Production in this new territory is lagging, however, due to the fact that a great deal of money is required to pioneer cotton raising. laboring man never argues thus, neither does the Catholic or the Jew. Women never base their cause upon money or relative economical power. These things are of a moral nature, and must be dealt with as such. Money is the servant; man is the master. All these great social problems must seek solution in terms of manhood, and not of money. Man makes money and man makes and conditions human relations. Money is but a tool to be used by man. When the Negro develops manhood he will make money if necessary and translate it into the desired form of service. The fundamentally weak point in the doctrine of socialism is that it over stresses the importance of the economic factor. Let the Negro acquire all the wealth he honestly can. Let him practice thrift and economy as an aid to repectable decent living. Let him accumulate late capital and engage in material enterprise as fully as his inceptude, lack of experience and prejudice will permit. But never let him indulge the vain delusion that money will solve the race problem. Money will not solve the race problem; but the race problem cannot be solved without money. National Committee States Where Lynch- and Where Right to Actically Denied ing in some savage nightmare, without self-realization, without a collective racial ego. Who can blame the white man for these conclusions? Have they not behaved in such childish fashion as would lead any, reasonable person, regardless of color, to the same conclusions? They have. They are worse off today in the United States, politically, than were the citizens who lived during the Reconstruction period. No new Federal law has been placed upon the statute books in favor of the colored citizen; the laws which were enacted more than half a century ago for his protection are, to say the least, inoperative. He is not as secure in his person and his property as was his grandfather; his influence with the national administration has waned, and he has lost the confidence of the world at large as to his capacity for self-government and self-maintenance, without the assistance of the white man. His spokesmen and leaders have become effeminate and their minds inane. The colored masses do not respond to the call of the tribe as did their grandfathers during the days of Douglass, Elliot, White, Langston and Revels. His press has developed into the voice and mouthpiece of mountebanks and false leaders* his pulpit commercialized to the last cent. His life in the land whose wealth he created is worth less than a mongrel dog's, and the fits of resentment which he affects is only the spasms of a dying rat, cornered by some beast of prey, and which is about ready to give up the fight for life. Presidents and statesmen make promises to him with tongue in cheeks, and thumb their noses after him when he has left the sacred predicts of his barter. For the racial self-respect which the grandsires of the present American Negro have left as a symbol of their tireless efforts while on earth; for the record of fight to the finish which the colored political leaders established after the Civil war; for the sacrifices which the colored leaders of the Reconstruction period had made for survival of the race, let those who still believe in the inherent capacity of the black race to achieve break from the yoke of the white man's leadership and take up the task of redeeming the reputation and record of the political leadership of the Negro race.

Krae, Johnson, Commissioner of Public Welfare,站ided Thursday that If the Haywood County authorities verify the statement of Jackson Jones, a small boy contined in the State's prison, under sentence of "five years at hard labor," habeas corpus proceedings will be sought to have the boy carried back to Juvenile Court for a legal trial, not mention the prisoner's age in the Superior Court being illegal.

Accused of Setting Fire to Woman for Money (Preston News Service). *PITTSBURGH. Jan. 3.* Alleged to have set fire to the clothing of Mrs. Lula Waltron, 22 at her home in Clark street, last Thursday night, so that she could secure money which Mrs. Waltron had received as Christmas presents, Mrs. Liza Wilson, 29 of Clark street was turned over to the Coroner Friday morning by Magistrate Brandon. The Waltron woman died in Mercy Hospital Thursday night from the burns. Police say the Waltron woman had been on the drinking orgy and the woman night when her funds were exhausted, she went to the Waltron home and asked Mrs. Waltron for money. An argument is said to have ensued. The Waltron woman seized the Waltron woman and manoeuvred her in front of an open gas store so that her clothing caught fire. Pedestrians in the street heard the screams of the Waltron woman and went into the house and smothered the fire, but Mrs. Waltron was burned fatally. Edward Waltron, husband of the dead woman, was also turned over to the Coroner. WHITE MOOSE SUE BLACK MOOSE IN LA NEW ORLEANS, La. Jan. 3—(By The Associated Negro Press)—A suit for injunction to prevent members of the Paramount Progressive Order of Moose from wearing the emblem or using the word Moose has been filed in the Civil District Court by Nat W. Bond, dictator of the white organization in this city. A W. Brazier is supervisor of the colored organization in the nation. A similar suit was recently filed in a M. Sauces court which was decided in favor of the colored organization, the court holding that the Moose is the name of an animal and, therefore, not subject to copyright or exclusive use. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. JAN. 5. 1927 Quaker City's Two Financial Institutions Combine Resources Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Co. and Keystone Bank of Philadelphia Merge for Greater Usefulness PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 3.—"Philadelphia has been making financial history for the Negro in America within the last few days and presents to the race its finest New Year's gift," so Major R. K. R. Wright, Sr., president of the Citizens & Southern Bank and Trust Co., of this city, spoke to a group of business men when he announced the consolidation of the two banks of the city. The Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Co. and the Keystone Co-operative Bank have become one. Monday night all the business of the latter was transferred to the beautiful new building of the former at the corner of Nineteenth and South streets, and Philadelphia can now boast of one great bank with a solid foundation and with united support of the race. While the consolidation was made in a few hours, the negotiations have been going on for some time. Last summer Major Wright, as president of the National Zero Bankers' Association, encouraged older co-operation, including North Country, "Too often" he said, "when two or more banks are in the same city they are not friendly, but often spend much of their time fighting one another and dividing the people into hostile groups. This should not be. We ought to be together." Now we have an ocular demonstration of what Major Wright urged upon these bankers, not only co-operation but consolidation. Not long ago J. C. Asbury, president of the Keystone Bank, and Major Wright discussed the consolidation. Having arrived at a plan they took it to the State Banking Department at Harrisonburg, which inspects both banks. The secretary of banking was enthusiastic. "One big bank is what you want for the service you can render your people, and I heartily approve of the step you propose," said Mr. Taylor of the Banking Department. The details were worked out by the lawyers and the bank examiners, presented to the two boards of directors, discussed and approved. This is the first time in the history of the Negro race that a transaction between two banks has made a most delicate business and showed that Negroes can do big things. The deal was confidential and the first that the public knew of it was when the depositors got notice in this morning's mail or when they saw it in this morning's paper. The consolidation will remove competition and break up financial factions and help the race to put up one financial front. It will cut down overhead expense and necessitate only one building. When the consolidation was announced, many of the leading men of the city were greatly pleased. E. Pussey Passmore, former president of the Union League, and president of the Bank of North Carolina and Trust Co. the oldest bank and kind in the United States, said: "It is the greatest step you have made since you opened your bank, and ought to start on to larger success." Judge E. W. Henry said: "I congratulate you. Major Wright and Mr. Ashbury, upon doing the greatest thing ever done in Philadelphia's financial history so far as the colored people are concerned." The Rev. J. A. Kirkland, pastor of Union Baptist Church: "I hail with delight the merger. It shows that the great spirit of co-operation is among our people. I will support this greater Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Company with my own account, the account of my church, and urge my friends to support it." Dr. J. M. Marques, owner of Your Pharmacy, said: "It's a great step forward, and a worthy example for Negroes in business everywhere." Said Prof. Clarence R. Whyte, principal of the Durham School: "Both banks are to be congratulated for their far-sighted wisdom in bringing about this consolidation." Beshop W. H. Heard of the A. M. E. Church: "I was one of the first depositors in the Citizens and Southern and have always urged my ministers and churches to bank, with them. Of course I am delighted. It's a great step forward for the race." The Rev. J. H. Dwelle, president of the Pennsylvania State Baptist Convention: "I want to congratulate you. Major Wright, my old teacher down Georgia. You are just wincing such leadership in education here that you did in education in Georgia, and you people will follow you they will achieve great results. Of course you have my support." The W. F. Graham, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church: "Congratulations! Now the people have no excuse for not supporting a colored bank. Let us all get behind it and push it to success." The Rev. C. A. Tindley, pastor of Calvary N. E. Church: "This is a day of big things and you have done a big thing." Speaking for his Board, Mr. Aabury said: "We are, pleased beyond measure with the arrangement. Major Wright is a careful and experienced banker and devotes his whole time to banking. He studies it with the intelligence and enthusiasm of a young man and he adds to it the sober judgment of his master, who ideal man to head the first Negro bank merger in the country." The Citizens and Southern was started in 1820 as a private bank owned by Major R. R. Wright Sr. Dr. R. R. Wright Jr. and Miss Lillian M. Wright. In 1923 it incorporated as a stock company with nearly 400 stockholders. Last year it opened as a trust company with paid in capital and surplus of $156,250, having the third largest paid in capital of any bank. It has a regular trust department and ample provisions for taking care of estates; also a title insurance department as well as other commercial and savings departments. The officers are: R. R. Wright, president and treasurer; E. W. President and Frank Hopkins, vice-president; R. R. Wright Jr., secretary and title officer; E. C. Wright, assistant secretary; Chas. A. Ealy, assistant treasurer; E. Washington Rhodes, attorney and trust officer; Directors the main officials are: J. H. Irvin, J. T. Seth, Wm. Newman, E. B. Maynard, Bishop W. H. Heard, Bishop J. S. Caldwell, A. J. Hemmons, J. C. Neely, Bishop W. S. Brooks, and D. Powell. Harlem Now Has Investment Banker seventy years ago when Claire Burton, the great French scientist, was traveling in Panama Canal, he became particularly interested in a young boy, and propheted that lad was destined to become a great banker. For that boy is none other than Hugh R. George, president of the House of George and Co. Investment Bankers, whose offices are located at 2288 Seventh avenue. Before Mr. George's entrance into the investment business, he was in almost every other business beside that of banking. He has been telegraph operator, railroad clerk, soldier, business man, shipping clerk, law student. Mr. George was born in Grenada, British West Indies, in 1850, the son of a planter. His early boyhood was like so many other youngsters. He attended the public schools, helped his father on the plantation, and got married, often as an upright boy can, is practically continuous. AMBITIOUS TO BE A LAWYER When he was about sixteen his family moved to Panama, where he met the great scientist who predicted his future so accurately. Under the tutelage of Prof. B. A. Kerr the boy studied hard, for he felt that he wanted to be a lawyer, as was his uncle, Dr. Elden Nash of Kingston. B. W. L. The uncle's title of doctor of law and philosophy had a strange appeal for the youngster which he wanted to emulate. His first real position was that of telegraph messenger to the local railroad, but he was soon added to the army. He dept. studied at Tabernelle, and subsequently promoted to train conductor and to yard engine conductor. Shortly afterwards he resumed to take over the Empire Motor Company of Panama. During the war he was employed at the Commander General's office as confidential clerk. Later he became a member of the staff of General Frank C. Wood, received a commission and was sent to Camp Meade, Md. Because of his expert knowledge of maneuvers, his commission was deferred and he became attached to the Submarine Boat Corporation of New Jersey. EARLY STRUGGLES The years following the great struggles marked an epic in the career of the young man. Starting in as assistant shipping clerk of Brill Brothers, New York City, he was soon offered a position at the Equity Manufacturing Company as head shipping clerk in shop foreman of Mr. shop shop foreman. Mr. George was elected as its delegate to the International Conference of Union Workers. All this time he was studying law at Columbia University in accordance with the destiny which he had selected for himself, but in 1321 he was selected by his class to deliver an address at the Hotel McAlpine, an educational institution, for the meeting he was approached by the president of the Colonial Trust Company, who was so impressed with the young man that he offered him a position on his sales force, which Mr. George promptly accepted. Within four months he became head of the force. The rest of the story is like the proper fairy tale. Within the period he became the sales manager of an investment bank at Broadway and Fort-second street which had a capitalization of $8,000,000. Eleven short months afterwards, 1923, he resigned and started a business with several of his former white associates known as the Federal Security Company. New York, later he purchased the interests of his associates and incorporated as the House of George. Investment Bankers, with a capitalization of $15,000. At present he is associated with such houses as J. P. Morgan & Co., A. Fitkin & Co. of Chicago, New York and Boston; David R. Mitchell & Company, John J. O'King Jr. & Co. House of Moody and others. He is listed in the Volume of Bankers and Brokers' Associations of America and the Bankers' Encyclopedia of the World. He is a client of the American Institute of Finance, is associated with the Associated Gas and Electric Company, which has a capital of over $215,000,000. He recently participated with Fitkin and Company in the distribution of a $30,000,000 of Virginia Public Services Corporation. He is also a member of the National Town Club of United States, one of the most exclusive clubs in the country. That's the story of the phenomenal rise of Hush R. George. Few would believe were it not that the man himself is the living proof and symbol of his success. His house employs eighteen persons at the present time. Speaking at a meeting held at the 135th Street Public Library, several months ago, W. V. Warner said: "Mr. George has demonstrated by any standards among any race his ability to handle large finance; he has fully satisfied those of us who have come in contact with him in a business way as his clients." Dont's for 1927 DON'T cash checks for strangers. If you have money to give away, there are many worthy charities. DON'T cash a check because it is certified. The certified stamp may be a fake. Borrow in mind that checks are rarely certified, except to close title to property, guarantee a bid or take up securities. A certified check should arouse suspicions. DON'T take a check from a stranger in payment for goods just to make a sale. It ought to put you on your guard when a man offers a check, particularly when he wants some cash in change. Tell him you are not running a bank. DON'T think a check must be all right because it looks businesslike—has the name printed—has the amount protected by machine—man has a letter on letterhead of some well-known corporation. Boots check and the latter may have these fellows are resourceful. Remember, also, that while the check may be signed correctly and there may be plenty of money in the bank, the name of the payee may have been altered or the endorsement may be a forgery. The amount may also have been raised. Think because a check may be paid that you will never hear of it again. It may come back one or two years later, fororged endorsement, and you will have to pay.

Negro Insurance Companies Becoming Big Factor in Business Run by Negroes WASHINGTON, D. C. - (By the Associated Negro Press) That Negro insurance companies are growing apace, even though they carry but a small fraction of the insurance in force upon Negro lives, is shown by the recent report issued by the National Negro Insurance Association. Some startling and encouraging figures are presented by the association in its statistics compiled upon twenty-one Negro insurance companies, most of which are members of the organization. White companies are carrying many times more insurance on colored people's lives than are the colored companies, but the report relates that "of the total of $73,581,675,814 of life insurance in force in the United States on December 31, 1925, the twenty-three Negro companies carried $164,246,500, a mere drop in the bucket when compared to the total in force, but an enormous amount when all factors and handicaps are taken into consideration. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, with $000,000,000 on Negro risks, carries five times as much life insurance on Negroes as all of the Negro companies combined. We have just scratched the surface. The field and opportunities offered by life insurance companies for Negroes are too great to be measured; they are almost unlimited." Some idea of where the more than a billion and a quarter dollars' worth of Nero insurance is placed may be gained from the table which follows: TOTAL INSURANCE CARRIED BY NEGROES IN THE UNITED STATES. Grand total of insurance carried..$1,399,000,000 A conception of the tremendous financial power which Negroes might control is revealed by these figures. It is estimated that colored companies place only about one-eighth of the protection in force upon their own group. The fact is that only a negligible portion of America has awakened to the value of insurance in any sort of company. This is the task which the combined efforts of the companies who compose the National Negro Insurance Association is concentrated on—not getting Negroes to transfer their risks to colored concerns, but rather to appreciate in larger measure the value of insurance thereby adding to local racial wealth and giving protection to the families of the insured, "The security of homesteads," the association points out, "the holding intact of families, the education of families and the satisfaction of life profitably spent are frequently dependent upon an adequate conception of the value of insurance, the personal business which our organizations control, the steady growth of Negro companies, avers the National Negro Insurance Association, is a definite and hopeful barometer of racial business and progress. Philadelphia Election Officials Sent to Jail (Preston News Service).

Wednesday, January 5. 1927 1926 Lynching Record AGAIN it becomes our sad duty record that during the year 1926 this three persons, including two women, met death at the hands of mobs in various parts of the South. It is not easy to add that most of the victims Negroes. The latter and lynchings are practically synonymous, as need not always be so, because the same disrespect and disregard that is evinced by a mob bent on teaching a colored man or woman in some day break all the way over color line and cause lynching—not necessarily the lynching of Negroes—come a national pastime. FLORIDA heads the list with eight atrocities, followed closely Texas with five, Mississippi, four, Kansas, South Carolina and Georgia each, and Kentucky, New Mexico, Virginia, one each. Twenty-nine of the victims were Negroes, the white and one an Indian. IN A STATEMENT, James Welk Johnson, of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People, counts for the increase, as follow --- AGAIN it becomes our sad duty to record that during the year 1926 thirty-three persons, including two women, met death at the hands of mobs in various parts of the South. It is needless to add that most of the victims were Negroes. The latter and lynchings are practically synonymous, but this need not always be so, because the same disrespect and disregard for law that is evinced by a mob bent on lynching a colored man or woman may some day break all the way over the color line and cause lynching—not necessarily the lynching of Negroes—to become a national pastime. FLORIDA heads the list with eight mob atrocities, followed closely by Texas with five, Mississippi, four, Arkansas, South Carolina and Georgia, three each, and Kentucky, New Mexico and Virginia, one each. Twenty-nine of the victims were Negroes, three white and one an Indian. IN A STATEMENT, James Weldon Johnson, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, accounts for the increase, as follows: "There is one excellent and reasonable explanation of the increase from eighteen lynchings in 1925 to thirty-three in 1926. While there was threat of a Federal law, with consequent jurisdiction of Federal Courts over this crime, the lynchers hesitated. When the United States Senate refused to discuss the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, that was equivalent to serving notice on the lynchers that they could pursue their pastime virtually unmolested. "So far only one lynching, and that one in Georgia, has been visited by punishment at the hands of the law. The United States Senate refuses to discuss the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill because of the obstructionist tactics of a small group of Senators from the lynching States." WE ARE FIRMLY convinced that b violence is ever stopped in United States, it will be stopped as "So far only one lynching, and that one in Georgia, has been visited by punishment at the hands of the law. The United States Senate refuses to discuss the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill because of the obstructionist tactics of a small group of Senators from the lynching States." WE ARE FIRMLY convinced that, if mob violence is ever stopped in the United States, it will be stopped as the direct action of the group which suffers most from mob violence. A Federal anti-lynching bill would help and it is feasible that such a bill would afford the opening wedge against the evil; but it has been clearly demonstrated that a Federal anti-lynching Bill will not be used as long as there is nothing ex- sentiment in back of it. Most United States senators and representatives are conscienceless on the subject and it is reasonable to expect that the bill will be ignored in Congress until Northern Negroes, armed with their ballots, prove to them that the defeat of so humane a measure as an anti-lynching bill will mean their own ultimate defeat for every office to which they aspire. MOTHER kept that schoolgirl complexion by occasionally walking five or ten miles past a lot of drug stores. EDITORIAL PAGE Baumes Laws Upheld Baumes Laws Upheld THE APPELLATE DIVISION of the preme Court has upheld the constitutionality of the Baumes law, der which judges must sentence four offenders to prison for life. The opin confirms a recent editorial which peared in The Amsterdam News, in following words: THE APPELLATE DIVISION of the Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of the Baumes law, under which judges must sentence fourth offenders to prison for life. The opinion confirms a recent editorial which appeared in The Amsterdam News, in the following words: "It is a matter of common knowledge that District Attorneys frequently bargain with those charged with crime, and either under promise of immunity or acceptance of a plea of lesser degree than that for which the defendant was indicted, those deserving of extreme punishment are permitted to escape with a suspended sentence, or with punishment all too inadequate for the crime committed. We deplore the tendency of some District Attorneys, following the course of least resistance, thus to relax the rigid enforcement of our penal statutes. We think there has been altogether too much leniency shown in dealing with the criminal—particularly with confessed convicts. "It is a matter of recent history that some of the most vicious and confirmed criminals, by reason of the leniency of the Courts and District Attorneys, and because of our existing parole system, have been turned loose to repeat their wrong-doing and to agein prey upon their fellowmen, instead of receiving punishment commensurate with the seriousness of the crime of which they stood convicted. EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES Smith and the Presidency (From the New York Sun. Governor Smith's inaugural address was typical of him. It expressed again his gratitude to the people who have elevated and repeatedly honored him. It pledged him to devote the next two years utterly to the interests of the State. He said in effect that, no matter what others thought about his chances for the Presidency, he would do nothing, beyond the conduct of his work at Albany, to ask for the higher office.

He may get it—that is the problem of his party—but as he need not be in the position of weaker men as Governors of New York, have subordinated Governorship to ambition. The Governor is wise. Some of his predecessors, fixing their eyes on the White House, have stumbled over the problems immediately at their feet. If he will take care of the Governorship, the Presidential nomination will take care of itself. He may not get it that hard, but he will do it in the position of weaker men who, as Governors of New York, have subordinated the Governorship to ambition.

A denunciation of Governor McLeod's irresolution and delay in dealing with the Alken lynchers naturally marked the annual meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People here. But the officers of the association did not stop with that. They asked for passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill as a Federal remedy for these unpainted antigraffits. A denunciation of Governor McLeod's irresponsibility and delay in dealing with the Aiken lynchers naturally marked the annual meeting of the Associa for the Advancement of Colored People heree, the officers of the association did not stop with They asked for passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill as a Federal remedy for these unpunts atrocities. The World does not believe in the Dyer Bill when justice falls in any State the demand for an eral action gathers strength. The World still be that South Carolina will make an example of Aiken lynchers. Governor McLeod goes out of a succession of his successors, pleaded to prosecute the lynchers to the full effect of his powers. He has ample ground on which act. Detectives have obtained evidence which governor McLeod admits is sufficient not merely the indictment but for the conviction of a numb participants. The Criminal Court opens its ter Aiken on Jan. 24. Pressure may be brought The World does not believe in the Dyer Bill. but when justice falls in any State the demand for Federal action gathers strength. The World still hopes that South Carolina will make an example of the Alken lynchers. Governor McLeod goes out of office on Jan. 18: his successor. John G. Richards, is pledged to prosecute the lynchers to the full extent of his powers. He has simple ground on which to accuse the governor of evidence which Governor McLeod admits is sufficient not merely for the indictment but for the conviction of a number of participants. The Criminal Court opens its term in Alken on Jan. 24. Pressure may be brought upon Governor Richards to forget his pledges, but the honor of the State is involved. The House of Commons THROUGH the courtesy of Mr. Rennie Smith, member from Yorkshire, I sat one evening in the House of Commons to hear the closing debates on the question of the two newly-proposed judgements, and whether they shall draw £2000 from the Ludinian treasury per annum in addition to £2000 from the English treasury, but more especially to hear the debates on the proposed "East African Loan" a proposition to lend £200,000 to the "East African Dependencies" for maternal construction and research. There sat in front of the "speaker's" imposing camped chair the three leeks of the Commons, with their gray wigs, permanently waved on the sides, pigtailged at the back, and straight on top, looking for all the world like the seventeenth century. Darwin was certainly right about evolution, for it matters not how far we evolve, we still retain the carmacks of the embryo out of which we started. The Commons auditorium makes one think of a Quaker meeting house, with two opposing tiers of seats on either side of the great hall, rising like stadium rows, but soft cushioned, and facing each other toward the opposing tiers. For the "mae" and the "minority" on the other, looking straight into each other's eyes—and many are the unpleasant words and looks that shoot across the intervening space. All the gang were present; there were the Prime Minister and the ex-Prime Ministers, Baldwin, Churchill and Melbonaid. There was Arthur Henderson, and there was Kenworth, who had just changed his affiliation from the Liberals to the Laborists, and had come back with a claim that he had made when he entered the Commons auditorium. And there was Sakhtakhtya, whom we seemed to be afraid to let into the United States, but who is a quiet and likable East Indian gentleman, but an effective speaker. Then there were the famous "Clyde Group," who have been returned from the districts about the Clyde River section, and all of whom have been in fall or deported before the prime minister's career. There was David Kirkwood, the forceful Laborite, whose powerful debating ability is skilfully covered up or neglected in the reports of the conservative press. There were other women members besides Miss Ellen Wilkinson, whom we recently heard in the United States, and who is one of the clearest speakers in the House. And there was Renee Smith, who was studying in a German University when the war broke out, who would not run away, because the Germans had jailed and jailed as an allied enemy, because they lacked a sense of humor; for Rennie Smith was anti-militarist and would not have fought the Germans. He is a Quaker. The Laborists and Liberals and the Communists were opposed to giving two new judges 4,000 pounds a year as long as parliament was unwilling to grant the miners an almost starvation level of minimum wage. "Why" said Kirkwood, "do the lawyers and judges get so much better wages than the miners? They unfortunate than the miners, they stick together, and keep up their fees, charges, and wages." The opposition was also against using force or pressure to compel the Hindu people to pay half the salary of these proposed 4,000 pounds a year judges. It may be recalled that last year the Indian parliament refused to vote the appropriation and it is suspected on the "left" that Baldwin sees now some way to force it upon them, since he is bringing the proposition again forward. Baldwin, quiet, sharp, and at times, with a smile that was a sneer almost always on his face, and with the self-confident air that any leader of the overwhelming majority of conservatives might have, seemed to be the one pushing for the appropriation and hedge-supporting the proposition. We watched Baldwin's movements: he is a wily politician, resourceful, energetic, shrewd, even cunning, but not bothered by too much conscience. He evinces shiftiness and a practical re-the-where-by-some-means spirit. He plays for advantage; there is method in his quietness, when he is quiet. For example, the opposition asked over and over again in their speeches whether it was right to add these two new judges, if accepted, also to the pension list. Baldwin kept quiet, and of course, assuming that his quietness betrayed guilt of the thing suspected, the Laborites and few Bu WILLIAM PICKENS JOHN H. HARRIS Liberals spent much energy and time in debate against the heavy and growing pension list. And when the thing was nearly over, and all this useless ammunition had been shot by his opponents, Baldwin got the floor, and among other shrewd rebuffs said: "And the reason why the government did not use money simply on the pension list is because they are not to be put on the pension list." In the United Threatens Martial Law in Georgia ATLANTA, Jan. 3.—The dogging of Wimberly E. Brown, white attorney, by a band of hooded men near Lyons. Ga., brought from Governor Clifford Walker last week a warning that martial law will be declared "if the regular processes of the courts fail to curb these outrages," and Nathan Bedford Forrest, head of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Georgia, issued a statement terming the incident "an unspeakable outrage." Those in the band "wore robes in imitation of the Klan regular, but were not in any sense Klansmen." Mr. Forrest said, and added that the Klan will offer a reward for the apprehension of those involved. Declaring in a formal statement that "mobs with heads covered with flour sacks shall not rule in Georgia," Governor Walker offered a special reward of $1,000 for the first conviction of a member of the masked band, and called upon "every patriotic citizen" of Toombs County to co-operate. Meansman, Judge R. N. Hardman, at Lafayette, Ga., called the Toombs County Superior Court and grand jury into special session beginning January 17 to investigate the whipping. Mr. Brown assisted in the prosecution of five alleged members of a hooded band that fatally wounded Willie Wilson, another white man, last July. He said a crowd of men "wearing Klan regular" seized him on a street corner in Lyons, took him about two miles into the country and beat him so severely with leather straps that he was hospitalized. They also warned him, he said, that, unless he moved from the county within ten days he would be killed. According to Brown, the only statement members of the mob made 40 him was that they "would teach him to prosecute the Klan" and to write articles for a Macon paper, which Brown believed referred to his prosecution of the Wilson case and an article in a Macon paper after the trial. FIND 1,000,000 SAVAGES IN UNCHARTERED AREA MANILA. Dec. 31.—A valley capable of supporting 1,000,000 persons and inhabited by savages who never before had seen white men was discovered in an unchartered region of Ninth Coast Island by a party occupying who returned today. Reports of a mountain that swallows a river were heard by the party, headed by Captain George T. Rice of the Fifty-ninth Coast Artillery. They found the valley during eleighteen days of exploration between Port Lebuk and Cotabatata. It is twenty to thirty miles wide, seventy miles long and 1,800 feet above sea level. The party named it "Kulaman." for a river which flowed through it. Tribes known as Manobos refused money for hunting knives, but readily traded them for nine beads. They maintained themselves in primitive fashion in the valley. LETTERS States Baldwin would be the "boss" of Tammany or the Republican Party. Remie Smith is interested in studying the advancement and progress of the American Negro as a guide-book for a statesman-like policy in England's dealing with its vast empires of African blacks. That sounds more like common sense than anything we have heard from a successful politician on the "race question" in a long time. Smith wants help, suggestions, sources of information. Let us see that he gets them. Still writing the preceding paragraph I have had my first meeting in England, a forum, in Touwhey Hall, the "Hull House" of London, or rather on the Hull House of Chicago he called the "Touwhey Hall" of the United States, insnusch as the English institution was the original one. The English call this forum a "debate" for after the principal speaker speaks an hour or so he is interrogated from the floor, and then others speak briefly, this going on for another hour or so. And the principal speaker finally closes with a brief "reply" to the whole set of speakers. The ordinary-looking Englishman of these audiences is evidently doing more thinking on the subject than does the mayor of Chicago or the governor of Mississippi. We discussed the rise of the Negro race in both America and Africa and its international bearings on the other race and color problems of the world. No Loss in Loans to Porto Rican Farmers WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—The Federal Land Bank in Porto Rico in the three years of its operation has made total loans of $10,000,000 to farmers without a single case of failure to meet obligations. On the contrary, in many cases payments have been made by the farmers before they were due. The War Department, in commenting upon the progress made in Porto Rico as reflected by the service and experience of the bank, recalled that in 1889, when the island was taken over by the United States, farms were so generally mortgaged that it was necessary to issue orders for bidding foreclosures for two years. E. B. Thomas. Agent of the Bank, reported: "About $10,000,000 has been loaned to the farmers of this island and there is not a single one who has not complied with his obligations to us. Furthermore, a thing has occurred which I have never observed before, though I have worked in banking institutions for more than twenty years. The farmers who have obtained loans from us pay their interest and that principal before the date due. In November there were 332 payments in this bank of which 349 were made before due; the others, on the exact due date." By Ernest Rice McKinney. (Preston News Service.)

The young miss says that she will equip herself to teach the Bible and preach in order to Christianize the Turks. That will be her revenge. Now there are several sides to this matter. Does the young lady mean that the adoption of the Christian religion would be the worst thing that could befall the Turks? Is she filled with some of the old-time fire and brimstone spirit of campmeeting Methodists that delighted in snatching the sinner from hell even though the sinner wanted to go there? Hers is a mental twist that is difficult to interpret. Perhaps the young lady has confined her Bible reading exclusively to the Old Testament. There she may find ample precedent for visiting on the Turks a punishment that men usually associate with revenge Colorful News "Movies" By THE CAMERAMAN PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Governor's Report THE Honorable Martin E. Trench, Governor of the Virgin Islands, has submitted to the President of the United States his annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1926, and the same has been presented to the United States Senate and printed as Seante Document No. 170, Sixty-ninth Congress. Second Session, by Senator Bingham, Republican. Matters of citizenship, education, and the hay rum industry in the Virgin islands constitute, in the opinion of this column, the most important points in Governor Treuch's report. The Governor openly states "that these islands should be governmental" further reasoning upon this assertion, the Governor says: "It is believed that the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands should be given United States citizenship. They expected it with the purchase of the islands and it would appear that their expectations were translated into favorable terms in the treaty of cession. This interception decided, therefore, so that they are now "inhabitants of the Virgin Islands entitled to the protection of the United States." If this small outpost in the West Indies is to be a credit to the nation their aspirations to citizenship and naturalization should be heeded. With such favorable action on their desires, there should not of necessity follow unlimited territorial jurisdiction qualification. Conditions in the Virgin Islands bear little or no resemblance to those in the States." That the Virgin Islands children are hamped in their educational equipment by the lack of money is emphasized in the Governor's report. It appears that repairs to buildings will be made in which 112 teachers are instructing 3,097 children are urgent; while the extensions of manual training facilities, including an agricultural school, are most needed, The Governor recommends the construction and opening of a trade and agricultural school in order that apprentices may enjoy that privilege within the confines of their homeland. Contrary to the general belief in the United States that Prohibition has crippled the bay rum industry of the Virginia Islands, the tabulation in Governor Trench's report shows that during the past year 8,518 gulls on the bay rum industry were sold and exported. This is the highest mark since 1916, and is nearly three times as much bay rum as was placed in commerce during the years prior to the purchase of the islands by the United States. The Governor urges annual financial assistance from Congress, to stimulate the economic and political expresses the regret, however, that complete self-shelp cannot be expected in the islands for many years. NEGROES. not only of Kentucky, but of the country at large, may well mourn the future passing from the United States Senate of Senator Richard P. Ernst of Kentucky. As a seminal evidence of his good old-fashioned American goodwill and love for justice, Senator Ernst, on last Monday, in a meeting of the Judiciary Committee, moved to extend the scope of the proposed order into the alleged murder and sale of public offices in southern states to include alleged disfranchisement of Negroes in certain states of that section. It was a brave act, particularly when the oftimes questionable prejudice of Kentucky is considered, for Senator Ernst to exert his fleeting moments in the Senate to such a worthy effort. It was an honest offense launched at the evasive practices of the South to suppress Negro suffrage. It was Senator Ernst who fought nobly in committee to bring out the anti-lynching measure. It has been Senator Ernst who has been first to champion the confirmation of Negro appointees to office. It has been Senator Ernst who was always easy to see and kind of approach in his office at Washington eager to dare and do for the people of the country's people, without question as to race or religion. Senator Ernst has been temporarily shunted aside, effective next March, by the Democratic wave which swept Kentucky last No- member, it is to be sincerely hoped that his splendid good-will and honesty of purpose may continue to be available in some capacity to the struggling masses, and particularly the colored people who need so much, but who have so few to champion their cause. Christmas Stockings GOOD old Saint Nicholas outdid himself this year in generosity and good-will, and, believe it or not, here are a few of the Yuletide gifts which he meted out among some of the notable members of the Grand League of Good Brotherhood: To Ben Davis and "Webb" Porter Santa brought eternal peace. To Nathan Daniel Brascher, of the Associated Negro Press, he brought a brand new cane, with a concealed radio wire to the Capitol. To Charlie Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, New York St. Nick brought restoration of good health and Charlie's grand old uncle of oure. "Mell' Chisum isn't worrying now that Christmas is over. Didn't St. Nick present him with a national and an international transportation pass? Santa Claus did not forget Perry W. Howard, whom he presented with a life membership in the Brotherhood of sleeping Car Porters. Judge Ed. Henry, of Philadelphia, is happy. His Christmas stocking contained a golden emblem saying: "Well Done, Ed." Chaude A. Barnett was so glad that he had an attack of his Heidelbees when he discovered that good old Santa had put a muffler on Claud's "noiseless" Remington. To Clarence Matthews Santa Claus gave a prescription that would reduce weight, without impairing the appetite. Oscar briestpriest is also happy, because St. Nicholas showed him a way to reduce his income tax without curring the receipts. Charles E. Hall, the mortality statistician of the U. S. Census Bureau, was given information on Ed Wright's father, the Revered of beeds Arthur G. Prue, who serves on many fraternal sick and visiting committees, was all smiles. Santa Claus told him he could have a whole week off. Dr. Emmert J. Scott, was pleasantly informed by St. Nick that a new set of books awaited him at the Post Office upon which to make his request for the book "football classic of the year." John D. Gainey. Oh, yes, he was really "at home" for the first time in many years, due to the courtesy of Santa. Longest and Shortest Sentences on Record From Tit-Bits. The Spanish criminal charged with thirty-three different offenses who has just been sentenced to a term of 483 years' imprisonment does not hold a record. In July, 1891, the Mayor of Alba, in south Spain, was convicted on 217 counts of forging public documents. The Spanish law's penalty for this offense is fourteen years, so that the Mayor was sentenced to 2.083 years' imprisonment. The shortest sentence on record was passed on a Chicago man in 1923 for opening a letter addressed to his wife. The Judge pronounced the following sentence: "The laws of the United States must be uphold, and when you tamper with the mails you must suffer the consequences. I, therefore, sentence you to twenty-five seconds' imprisonment." Pulling on his watch the judge gravely counted the seconds, after which the astonished prisoner was released. Origin of Two "Spirituals" WASHINGTON, D. C.—As related by Mrs. C. Fountain (white) of Durant, Okla., "Swing Low, Sweet Charity" and "Steel Away to Were" were first written down as sang by a Negro called Uncle Wallace, who was a slave in an Indian family in Oklahoma. Indian missionaries who frequently prevailed on him to sing these songs in his sweet pliantive voice set down the words and music, as sung by Uncle Wallace, and sent copies to the Fisk Jubilee Singers, who were traveling throughout the country in the interest of Fisk University. Two daughters of Uncle Wallace lived near Wapanucka Okla. in later years, a representative of Fisk University wrote them requesting their photographs, and sending them money for a trip to Denison, Texas, to have them taken. They also offered to educate one of the daughters or granddaughters. Lizzie Williams, one of the granddaughters, went to Nashville, one of the daughters, but could not be persecuted to remain junior, and so lost the opportunity for a thorough education, which had been offered her.
