Brown created excitement in front of her home 2103 Droid Hill avenue Monday. A riot call was sent in to the Northwestern Police Station, and a patrol wagon load of policeman responded to the "false alarm." Captain Brown told Magistrate Chapman that there never have been any firearms in his house, and that his wife's cries were a part of her policy of giving him needless notoriety. He was released on $200 of court on his own request. City Councilman Warner T. McGuinn represented him.

EAST BALTIMORE BRANCH: 1634 McELDERRY STREET LONDON GOES DAFFY OVER NEGRO ART European Painters And Sculpters Now Make It The Center Of All Their Exhibitions SUCCEEDS JAZZ Critic Calls Negroes' Work Better Than That Of Romans And Goths London, England, Dec. 16.—London and Paris have gone stark raving mad over Negro art. Recent exhibitions like figures in black or recreation sculptures and the Mosaics of the Ancient African Empires. Europeans were crazy over the jazz and the success of the American musicians, abroad is said to have set the minds of art critics toward Negro art, with astonishing results. Ancient Negro art has received more attention in the last six months than it has in the last six centuries. A white critic in the Athenian writes: "Judging from the available data—no great stock by the way—I should say that Negro art was entitled to a place amongst the great schools. "With the greatest I would compare it. I would compare it with the art of the supreme Chinese periods (from Han to Song), with archaic Greek, with Erythamine, Mohammedan, which, for archaeological purposes, begins under the Sasanians a hundred years and more before the birth of the prophet; I would compare it with Romanesque and early Italian (from Glotto to Raffael), but I would place it below all these. On the other hand, when I consider all the black art known to us, and compare it with Assyrian, Roman, Indian, true Gothic or late Renaissance, it seems to me that the blacks have the best of it. Though the biggest achievements of the greatest schools do seem to have an absolute superiority over anything Negro I have seen, yet the finest black sculpture is so rich in artistic qualities that it is entitled to a place beside them.

HATCHETT & LEWIS, Bankers 900 N. Eutaw St. at Biddle WE HAVE NO AGENTS SOLICITING FOR OUR CLUB WOULD INSURE HER LIFE FOR $300,000 Daughter of Late Mme. Walker Applies For Policies Aggregating This Amount MAY SUCCEED Woman New York, Dec. 16.—If the applications of Mrs. Lella Walker Wilson are granted, this week local insurance companies will grant her policies on her life aggregating $300,000. This is said to be the largest amount of insurance ever asked for by any colored person. Mrs. Wilson is the wife of Dr. Wiley Wilson, a practicing physician of New York, and inherited the bulk of her mother's estate last year estimated to be worth around $1,600,000, and including the beautiful $250,000 Villa Lewaro-on-the-Iudson. Mrs. Wilson's mother, Madame Walker, is known in every section of the country and abroad then the sale of her toilet preparations. She was a poor widow with one child in 1907, and in 1919 just twelve years later was rated as a millionaire. Here are the probable premiums Mrs. Wilson will pay, providing companies grant her the policies asked for: 20 payment life, premium on $300,000 policy, $3000 a year. 20 year endowment premiums on $300,000 policy, $15,600 a year. Straight life, premium on $300,000 policy, $8800 a year. Term insurance (five years) similar to insurance granted soldies during the war, $300,000 policy, $3,000 a year. According to C. H. M. Johnson, state agent of the North Carolina Insurance Company, who furnished the AFROAMERICAN with the above estimates of premiums on a $300,000 policy, this is the largest amount of insurance any colored business man or woman has ever applied for. Some of those known to have carried large insurance policies are the following: the late Wm. Cox, husband of Indiana, Mississippi, $27,000; the late Armstead Walker, husband of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of Richmond, Vn., $10,000; the late John Merrick of Durham, N. C., $10,000. "Women are not as good risks as men in the eyes of Insurance companies," said Mr. Johnson." and if Mrs. Wilson succeeds in getting the amount she asks for, she will not only carry the largest life insurance policy in the country, but I will take my hat off to her as accomplishing the seemingly impossible."

F. Richardson, and carried off the files, subscription books, local and foreign advertising books, and the papers of local edition printed and ready for distribution.

CHAMBERLAIN, Secreta AT $10.00 PER SHARE 7 per cent participating Preferred MUSEUM OF THE ARTS The Douglass Theatre under construction on Pennsylvania avenue near Lanvale When the Half-Million Dollar Dunbar Theatre at Broad and Lombard S The Douglass Theatre Now under construction on Pennsylvania avenue near Lanvale street When the Half-Million Dollar Dunbar Theatre at Broad and Lombard Streets Philadelphia, opened last December, several of Baltimore's prominent citizens were present All of them were very lavish in their praise of the beautiful theatre, and were all agreed that it was the handsomeest theatre in the United States owned and controlled by colored people. And the request was made on that evening that a duplicate of the Dunbar Theatre be built in the City of Baltimore. The management at once began investigating conditions in Baltimore, and were quickly convinced that a first-class theatre in the "Monumental City" would be not only an asset to our people there, but would become a big money-maker from the very start. With that thought ever foremost, we began quietly looking for a suitable location for the theatre, and family found what, in our opinion, is the best location for a colored theatre in the city. This site is on Pennsylvania Avenue between Lanvale Street and Lafayette Avenue. It is the desire of the company that the stock be distributed among a large number of investors, rather than be held by a few large buyers of securities, and for this reason the price of shares has been put at a price at which even the smallest investor may get in on this proposition. investor may get in on the process. Colored theatres are no longer an experiment. In every city where a first-class theatre has been erected, success has attended the venture. The character of the performances which will come to the Douglass theatre will be of the same order as the attractions which have been playing in the Dunbar in Philadelphia and the Lafayette in New York with such wonderful success. Here is an opportunity for Baltimore colored people to cash in on the experience which has been gained in the operation of this now famous chain of colored theatres, which is constantly growing in number and importance throughout the country. The facts are here presented in a plain, simple manner. If you are interested in the development of the race along cultural lines, here is your opportunity to do your part in bringing about this condition. Invest in the Douglass Amusement Corporation stock, and help to make the Corporation a success and a distinct asset to the race. THE SITE—of this magnificent theatre (now in course of construction) is on Pennsylvania avenue between Lansville street and Lafayette avenue, and is the best location for a building of this kind, anywhere in the city. THE GROUND was purchased for cash—there are no mortgages or ground rent—such is our faith in the possibilities of Baltimore as a theatrical money-maker and we have already commenced the building of the theatre. THIS THEATRE will cost four hundred thousand dollars($400,000) and will be as beautiful as the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia. THAT THE colored people of Baltimore may have the opportunity of having a theatre of their own, and at the same time share in the profits, we have organized the Douglass Amusement Corporation, incorporated under the laws of Maryland and Capitalized for $500,000. AT THIS TIME we are offering for sale a limited number of shares of the 7% Participating Preferred Stock at Ten Dollars a share. Ownership of this stock gives the holder an interest in the valuable property of the Corporation, which will be made profitable by the production of the finest theatrical productions obtainable. THE FACT that the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia under the same guidance has been able to pay a dividend of 8% during the first year of its operation should prove conclusively to anyone that this latest venture will pay handsome Dividends to the investor. IT SHOULD NOT be necessary to present any greater arguments in favor of purchasing this stock than the fact that the building is now being erected and the personnel of the management of the Corporation. IF YOU ARE interested in the Race to the extent of desiring a theatre or theatres where yourself or family can go freely and see the finest Broadway productions presented by capable artists, investment in the Doughlass Stock will make this possible. IF YOU ARE interested most of all in putting your money in a safe, sound investment, which will pay big returns in dividends, and constantly increase in value, then here is the safest, surest investment offered to the colored people of any city. THE RESPONSE which has come to the efforts of the Corporation thus far has been highly gratifying. Baltimore has rallied grandly to the idea of a theatre for our people and owned by our people. Do not let tomorrow find you undecided what to do. Delay may mean another lost opportunity over which you may have many regrets.

Sangson Brooks, former pastor of Rother Church, that will eclipse anything ever held in the city is planned for Monday evening, Jan- eenth. nary tenets. Ministers from all denominations and from all sections of the city have been named on the committee which is arranging the event. Invitations will be sent out to Baltimore and neighboring cities, and the church, it is said will be too small to hold the multitude that will gather to say farewell to Bethel's former pastor and one of the most loved ministers in the city. city. Pilgrim Brooks appeared at the ministers' meeting Monday and told of his tour of the country in which he had raised money for the industrial school he is to erect in West Africa. He said: "Friends have come to my rescue from everywhere. They have given me enough to start my enterprise, but just to start it. They have made among other things, a cartoon of plows, one hundred picks and one hundred shovels, says, a printing press, an auto truck, two tractor plows, and staple provisions to last two years. NEW MISSIONARY METHOD "We have decided," the bishop said, "just to reverse the old missionary method. It won't do any longer to bring Africans to the United States for education and expect them to go back to their people. Satanists show that the percent of them return to the United States and only twenty percent return Africa as they originally planned. We have got to erect Africas the schools that nurture the natives the training they need. One thereby educated African with a knowledge of modern agricultural methods and modern Christianity is worth ten thousand in America." Bishop trooks returned to the city for a badly needed rest after his countrywide campaign. Threatened with pneumonia and advised by his physician against public speaking, nevertheless he is going ahead with his plans to sail with eight missionaries to board the Lifesaving New York charter Lifesaving 15th. The reception will take place at Bighorn Church. Monday night January 10 allowing plenty of time for the trip to New York and the final arrangements for passage. N. A. C. C. P.

Herndon Serves Thousands In Lexington And Hollins Markets PULLS FOR TEAM WORK Says Workers Can Succeed By Taking Interest In Employer's Business Hundreds of patrons of Lexington and Hollins Markets know James E. Herndon, one of the largest retail produce dealers among the colored people of Baltimore. Dorn in North Carolina less than forty years ago, he came to Baltimore about twenty years ago. His first business venture was a little store on Vine street, near Arch. Desiring to get closer to Lexington Market, he moved on Pearl street, above Lexington. He made a specialty of dealing in produce and fruit, and his business grew steadily. He was a welcome customer among the commission merchants and not only paid his bill promptly, but many times ahead of the stipulated time. "When the Produce Exchange adopted a rule sometime ago that all produce dealers should send complete information about their resources, Mr. Herndon refused. Later when he visited the Produce Exchange the matter was taken up, and he was informed that his credit was good for any amount, as here never had any question about his not paying promptly. "I made it a rule not to pay $32 when $100 was due," Mr. Herndon told a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN, and a day or two ahead, when possible. Mr. Herndon is very modest in talking about his affairs, but a conservative estimate places the volume of business done by him to about $40,000 annually. He says that he never makes a display to the people that he does business with. Mr. Herndon employees about six hands and says that if he could hire men that would take a deep interest in business that he could do a larger volume annually. "What many need to learn is the value of team work, taking an earnest and honest interest in the employer's business, way he expressed him in the subject. Much of his business success is in notting aid given him by his wife, Mrs. Eliza Herndon, to whom he was married seventeen years ago. She worked in his stores when he was out with his wagon, and thus helped to make the business grow. They have a young son. Mr. and Mrs. Horndon are members of Sharon Baptist Church, they are also employed on behalf of 1039 N. Carey street, corner of Riggs avenue. OPPORTUNITY NO.1 Contribution to the Opportunity Fund by the Wohole Club $5.00. Mrs. Helen Grayson, president; Mrs. Helen Johnson, secretary and Mrs. Bertha LeCator, treasurer. There is a very interesting family living in a small house on a street where the front and back are the same. All they back yard to their home they try and keep their home clean and cheerful. I am sure you will agree (to the family being interesting, when we state) that the mother and father are deaf and dumb. There are five children, two of whom are twin boys. The two older children have never gone to school until this year, although they are several years past the age when children are supposed to enter school. Their teacher reports them bright pupils and delighted with their progress. The father earns ten dollars a week, as a shoelack. This is not enough to supply food and fuel, and pay the rent for a family of seven. There is a new baby which handicaps the mother. Twenty-five dollars will supply the boys with clothing for school. Will you help to give them a chance? GEORGE E. WAIES Family Welfare Association Western District. CELEBRATES SECOND ANNIVERSARY Mt. Joy Baptist Church, Calhoun and Smith Streets, of which Rev. J. W.

Make your skin bright, healthy and beautiful Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin whitener preparations are sought by the most fastidious women, as the means of lightening, healing and beautifying the skin. They are absolutely harmless, entirely free from vaseline, and will not promote the growth of hair upon the face. The Dr. Fred Palmer method of beauty treatment, if used with regularity, promises a reward that will warrant its systematic use. You can secure a complete set of Dr. Fred Palmer's Toilet Preparations from your druggist. First, steam the face, neck, hands and arms thoroughly with a turkish towel, as hot as the skin can bear. Repeat this three or four times. Then rub Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Soap gently into the skin with a soft wash rag, using hot water. Rub this lather gently, but thoroughly into the skin, and then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Next, with the finger'tips, thoroughly rub Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin whitener into the skin. Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener has earned for itself a reputation never attained by other skin-creams. DR.

Saratoga street, who has been suffering for over a year with his foot, came home last Saturday from Franklin Square Hospital.

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Miss Louise Farrow is to become the bride of Mr. George E. Stanley of Cambridge, the date has not been DIVORCEE MARRIED Miss Foster Becomes Wife Of W. S. Wilkins Miss Annie Foster, who was divorced from her husband, William Bosley, two weeks ago, was married to Walter S. Wilkins this week. The divorce decree gave the bride, who lives at 1006 Orleans street, the right to resume her maiden name. It is made by competent chemists, and only the best of each class of ingredients is used. It is creamy white, smooth as velvet, sweetly perfumed. After rubbing the Skin Whitener in thoroughly, until it is absorbed by the skin, apply Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Powder, a dainty, sweetly-scented face powder, that protects the face from sun-burn or chafe, and enhance the lightness of the complexion. In ten days or a week's time, the effect of this treatment will be noticed. Blackheads, blemishes and discolorations will disappear.

He says: "Much blame has been placed upon the teaching system. I, being Lincoln's head coach, have been the target of much attack. I wish to here that I have apologies to make for the showing made by Lincoln. I have led them to victory and honorable athletic achievement during the previous two years. Working entirely with raw material, I was successful in defeating Howard and Hampton once and in tying them once. MY METHODS INTERFERED Although I was appointed head coach, certain regulations in the constitution of the Lincoln Athletic constitution provided that the manager of the football team had authority over me in the matter of methods of coaching. This, of course, hampered my work. In addition to this, members of the Lincoln faculty assumed authority over me, and dictated my language and attitude toward the men on the field. TEAM POGOAL CARED FOR "In spite of the fact that I constantly fought for every comfort that would safeguard the health and make for the comfort of the players before big games, the authorities at Lincoln refused to heed my advice. Prior to the Hampton game, the team was compelled to go to Hampton by boat, sleeping on the decks and under portholes. No cabins were provided, nor were they given a place to sleep after reaching Hampton. They lost the game through lack of rest. This was proved when they advanced the ball five times to the skyward line and were unable to make a touchdown. I HAD TO BUY THEM SHOES "An indication of the lack of interest shown by the authorities at Lincoln may be seen in the fact that no football shoes were provided for the men. I myself bought and paid $200 out of my pocket for football shoes for my team. This money has never been repaid. I am a married man with children, and I notified the Lincoln authorities that I would be unable to support my family on the salary paid me for coaching Lincoln. They were satisfied to have me divide my time with professional teams. The men on the team knew of the interference being made by faculty members. Several times when my orders were overridden by the authorities, the men refused to play. I was who persuaded them to remain in the game. When they learned that I was not to be present at the Howard football, partly on account of interference above," their spirit was broken. They were discouraged. I still say the Lincoln faculty beat the Lincoln football team, not Howard. They are the gamen set of players on any gridiron. With proper treatment they can beat any team going. MORRISON REMAINS Coach Of Football Team Now Teaching In Dental School The Associated Negro Press Washington, D. C., Dec. 17.—Coach Morrison of Howard University is perfecting plans for another championship given next season. It is said to have accepted a position in the lower School.

KID NORFOLK BEATS TATE Baltimore Boy Whips Giant As Preliminary To Dempsey-Brenna Fight Special. New York. Dec. 16—Kid Norfolk, who helped to condition Bill Brennan for the Dempsey battle Tuesday night met and defeated Bill Tate. Dempsey's sparring partner as a preliminary to them in bout before 14,000 spectators in Madison Square Garden Tuesday night. The Aid only weighed 182 pounds while Tate tipped the scales at $24. Not that Norfolk minded in the least the great difference between them. He punched his heavier rival with a rigt blow and took the first two rounds by sheer aggressiveness, the crowd cheering every rally. Norfolk had to leap from the ground to reach Tate's jaw, Tate had to lean over to reach Norfolk's. In one of their clinches the "Kid" raised a great laugh by walking out of it right under Tate's arm. Norfolk won the decision by a smile, because of Tate's disinclination to do any real lighting. He stood on the defensive thrustout and clinched repeatedly. Norfolk lacked the final punch to put Tate out, but he punished him severely as he did, the Ghost in Baltimore. LOST ONE GAME Morehouse College Fell Victim To Forward Passing Of Union The Associated Negro Press Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 17.—Among the strong "grid" teams of the 1920 football colleges. Morehouse College has figured conspicuously. Fighting from beginning to end of every one of its six scheduled games, the plucky little Atlanta college undisputably won the championship of the South and proved itself to be stronger than most of the colored colleges of the East. It has lost one game in twenty years. Paine College of Augusta, Ga. was not to withstand the aerial attack of the Morehouse "Tigers" eleven and fell a victim to the count. 21-0. Morris Brown College prevented Morehouse from piling up a score larger than 21-0. For the third game of the season, the much heralded Fisk eleven journeyed to Atlanta, after a variously fought battle, went home with the short end of a 24-13 score. Virginia Union University of Richmond, Va., was the only team capable of registering a victory over the "Tigers"—much scarred after the battle with Fisk, the captain, both ends, and a halfback nursing injuries on the side-lines. The Richmond team, however, hung a 24-10 defeat on Morehouse after three scoreless periods. Morehouse was at least four touchdowns better than her arch rivals Atlanta University. The score was 24-14. The Thanksgiving classic was played with Knoxville College at Knoxville. Even on their own field, the Tennessee were able to check the avalanche of scores that snowed them under to the tune of 28-0.

Although the Freshles were outweight they were never outplayed and never did the Sophs advance the ball past their 40 yard line. No scoring was done until the last quarter when Coston got loose for two long runs which advanced the ball from midfield to the one yard line from where Williams carried it over. The Sophs tried the Freshmen line but it held like a stone wall. Sophs banked hopes on Johnson, the lucky full-back: Walton and Holloway, but never did they make sufficient gains to make but 2 first downs. Carathers broke up several Sophs plays and threw the runners for losses. The game was featured by the running of Cotton, Trigg, Trigg Williams, Skinkes, Groomes and Pope who ran the ball 55 yards from kick off. The punting of Groomes, the forward pass throwing of skinner for the Freshmen and Holloway and Johnson Harris for the Sophs. Much credit is due coaches, Law and Wood. The Freshmen Rabbie installed peep light in its players under cheer leader Rice and W. H. Johnson. LINEUP SOUTH FRESHMEN Tolson R. E. Trigg Jacques R. F. Pickens Simons R. G. Dixon Harris C.

As a white man it was natural for me to go to white doctors. And I went to the best in Baltimore. One said one of my friends tried hospital care else about my illness. I tried hospitals. They did me no good, and I grew worse all the time. A friend he had cured recommended me to try Dr. David N. E. Campbell, the Lung Surgeon at the Carry Street. At first I hesitated, but I finally went to him. After examining me he laughed and said he was sorry for me. He told me things about my complaint no other physician had treated me and made practically a new man out of me. I am now a street car conductor.

Boston, 312 Forest street, third prize, Mr. Leonard Severn, 1104, Etting street. It remained for a Bowie Normal School student, Miss Elizabeth Lewis, to walk off with the first prize in contest number two, staged by the AFRO-AMERICAN last week. Miss Deavera Boston won second and Leonard Severn's third. Honorable mention is given to Annie V. Diggs, 713 Mosher street; Miss Inez Duffin, Bowie Normal School; Mary Cishum, Salisbury, Md.; Rev. James A. Wright, Hartford, Conn.; Clifton T. Matthews, Bel Air, Md.; O. M. Maxwell, 584 Presstman street; Pannie I. Hayes, 1819 McCulloch street; J. Francis Henry, 2121 Dulghill Ave.; L. J. Vandiver, Ripley, Tenn.; Miss Jeanne C. Bruner, Frederick, Md.; Ethel E. Wise, 429 Spring street; Agusta Taylor, 1699 Woodyear street; Lillian Smith, 1315 N. Mount street and J. H. Alston, More House College, Atlanta, Ga. Those who received "honorable mention" answered the questions correctly, but were disqualified from receiving first, second or third prizes, because they misspelled the name of Benjamin Fanneker, Major Moton, or Paul Laurence Dunbar's name with a "W" instead of a "I." As in contest number one, readers of the AFIQO-AMERICAN from all parts of the country flooded the office with replies. The nearest contestant was Miss Hilda Waters of Fennell's Drug Store, and the farthest, Mr. Oscar Murphy in Harwick Ga. 8. Blanche K. Bruce and Hiram Revels. Judging by some of the replies received, number two contest was especially hard. Here are some of the wrong guesses, hazarded for the questions:— The first Negro poetess, Francis Ellen Watkins, Ida B. Wells and Laura Wheately. First patriot to fall in the American Revolution, Toussaint L'ouverture, Nick Rittle. Abe Lincoln, Sojourner Truth, Robert Morgan and Moses were some of those who were put down as saying, "Cast down your buskets where you are." The English composer who won fame in spite of his color, was put down by three persons as Alexander Cromwell, Harry Earleigh and Toussaint L'ouverture. Nearly everybody knew that Robert Terrell was the Negro who sits on a bench in a Municipal Court, except one person who guessed Rev. Beale Elliott. Another contestant put down Mrs. Minnie Lewis as the woman who made good as a bank president. A large number of contestants fell down on the names of the colored men who have sat in the United States Senate. Some of them made the mistake of including the thirteen colored men who have sat in the House of Representatives, Ashbie Hawkins, John Q. Adams and Frederick Douglas were others said to have sat in the Senate. Rev. Harvey Johnson can judge of the regard in which he is held, by one person, who put him down as a Maryland Negro of Revolutionary times, who wrote an almanac, and helped lay off the District of Columbia. One other person guessed Dred Scott as the reply to the question. Nearly everybody knew Mme. Walker, Major Moton, Bert Williams and Dumas. SCHOOL CHILDREN INTERESTED The following letter illustrates the interest manifested by the children of Dunbar School in this contest, and the AFRO AMERICAN organization will host the city school children manifest a similar interest. Dear Sir:— The interest being manifested by our pupils, in your contests, especially the second one, surpasses anything of the kind I have yet seen. Accept our congratulations. We are telling our pupils that every contest will win a prize, for after all, no one can try without gaining in knowledge, in inspiration, and in appreciation of our own great men—prizes truly worth striving for. Respectfully, WILLIAM ANDERSON, Principal Dunbar School Replies have been sent from all of the winners of number one, thanking the contest editor for checks sent them, and in return Miss Edith McMechen, winner of the first prize last week sent fifty cents to "Opportunity Number One," now running in another column. LEONARD SEVERNS WINNER OF THIRD PRIZE While crossing Greene street at Franklin Sunday; William Johnson, 658 W. Mulherny street, was struck by an automobile bearing license number 11,920. He was taken to a hospital by Henry Johnson. 110 George street, where he received treatment for broken rib. Charged with robbing the poor box of St. Barnabas Catholic Church following the Sunday service, Edward Ferguson, 1415 Fremont avenue, discovered by Father Rleth, white, was arrested and held for court. Ferguson was employed as janitor of St. Peter's priest house and admitted similar robberies of poor boxes at St. Peter Clave, St. Gregory, St. Flouus and Immaculate Conception St. John's lodge number five, and Keystone Lodge number three, turned out at Second Peoples Church, Spring street above Lanvale, Sunday afternoon, to listen to a special sermon by the pastor Rev.

"A YOUNG MAN-SHOULD SAVE A DOLLAR OUT OF EVERY FIVE HE EARNS."-ANDREW CARNEGIE. MISS DEVERIA BOSTON WINNER OF SECOND PRIZE TRIAL OF BRIBERY CASE POSTPONED Now Believed State Has Not Enough Evidence To Convict Men Charged With Giving The trials of Bowen L. Harp, Julia Edwards, Thomas R. Smith, Robert Goodlow and Benjamin Allen, indicated for alleged conspiracy, have been indefinitely postponed. They were slated for last Monday in Criminal Court Part 1. The indictments grew out of the arrest of Bowen L. Harp, white owner of a hacking car, on a charge of assaulting and robbing Miss Edwards, who was his fare. The woman entered the man's machine at Union Station, and was driven around the city, in stead of the places where she asked. When the case against Harp was first listed for trial the woman could not be found. She was later located in Atlantic City and brought here. She alleged that she had been paid $150 in Smith's Hotel to leave the city. The indictments of Harp on a charge of attempt to obstruct justice, of Smith, Goodlow and Allen for alleged assisting in felony and of the woman and the men for alleged conspiracy followed. Smith and Goodlow were released on bail, with Howard Venable as surety. Allen was in Atlantic City at the time and the woman was sent to jail. After a long stay she was released an bail, however. Harp was convicted of assaulting and robbing Miss Edwards and given three years in the Penitentiary last March. The indefinite postponement of those indicted came as no surprise, for it is generally believed that the State has not sufficient evidence on which to obtain a conviction. The cases may be called for trial at any time, however. A allege at the trial docket in the office of the Clerk of the Criminal Court revealed the fact that no attorney entered his appearance as counsel for the accused. CHARLES CARR SHOT Charles Carr, 585 Walnut street, was mysteriously shot in the neck by a man believed to be Winford Johnson on Tuesday of last week. Carr had his injuries treated at the Maryland General Hospital. The police are looking for Johnson. Carr says he knows not why he was shot, as the man who did it and he had never had any conversations together. As Carr is believed to be working with dry enforcement agents, some think that the booze interests may have hired his would-be assassin. Here is the Simple Plan THE AFRO-AMERICAN HURT IN CRASH Joseph White, 707 Bradley St., had two ribs fractured and several white passengers were badly shaken up when a one man car of the Fremont avenue line on which they were riding crashed into a W. B. and A. electric car at Fremont and McHenry streets Saturday. The motorman lost control of the car. $20,000 FOR MARYLAND SCHOOL Mrs. S. L. Smith, white agent for the Julius Rosenwald fund placed $20,000 in a local bank to be used for the construction of colored rural schools, provided the state appropriates $20,000 and the county or local authorities another $20,000.

Headsaches Drove Her Wild "For three years I dragged around a perfect wreck. Awful headaches and indigestion pains worried me. Pains in my back and hips wore me down, but today—thanks to Earle's Hypo-Cod, I'm feeling fine again," declared Mrs. S. Hickey, 1440 Wisconsin avenue, Washington, D. C. IT BUILT ME UP. "I was nearly dead with indigestion. I lived on butter milk, shredded wheat and one egg a day for three years and during all that time didn't dare touch meats' or anything heavy like that. I was so nervous at times I could hardly talk. Then one day a friend told me about Hypo-Cold. She had suffered just like I did. I got a bottle and today my appetite is just splendid. The nervousness is gone. The pains in my back and hips have disappeared and my digestion is grand." I can actually eat cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers and oh, what a pleasure it is to go to market and pick out good things to eat - go home and prepare them and then sit down to a great big meal without fear or trembling. I guess I would have been in my grave, by now except for this tonite. It is simply wonderful," continued Mrs. Hickey whose address is given above for those who desire to confirm this statement. Surely if you are in need of a good tonic you will give Hypo-Cod a trial. Druggists, chemists and experts assert it is the most powerful tonic of its kind made, yet you will be surprised at its pleasant taste and how nicely it agrees with your stomach should it be in a weakened condition. Earle's Hypo-Cod is sold here by all good druggists and the leading druggists in all nearby towns. LEWIS S. FLAGG, Jr. ATTORNEY AND COUNSELLOR- AT-LAW 620 W. LAPAYETTE AVE. BALTIMORE, MD. MRS. E.

Yes, his White House troubles. - JUST A SOP. NOTHING MORE White educators in the county schools met here last week to discuss the needs of the schools for their own race, and incidently, agreed on a plan for bringing about the bettlement of conditions in the colored schools outside of Baltimore city. An increase in salaries for colored teachers, efficient teachers, more liberal support for the Colored State Normal School and a stricter enforcement of the compulsory education law were among the subjects discussed. The whole program looks alluring on its surface, but no where in it does it appear that the plans contemplate what may approximate an equalizing with the whites of the educational opportunities offered the race. As for example, the old system of pay colored teachers less than the whites is to be continued, though colored men and women throughout the State were told by some high in authority that an attempt to remedy conditions would be made at the next session of the Legislature. The thoughtful among our people throughout the State should be aroused in the fact that the Colored State Normal School is only an excuse for one when compled with those for whites. Thousands of dollars are appropriated every two years to white colleges, but not one cent goes to a colored institution of higher grade, if we except the small donation given to Princess Anne Academy so that the State may get federal funds which largely go to the Maryland State Agricultural College for whites. It is time to call a halt on the unequal program, and indicate that any policy of education for the race should have been first jointly discussed with representative colored educators before it is made up and handed down to us a co JHPPI JAPPA The Jamaica Daily Gleaner gives over its entire front page in the issue of December 1st to the account of President-elect Hardings' visit to the island. The delighted natives, white and black alike gave Mr. Harding a cocoonut inscribed with a silver plate. To Mrs. Harding they gave a bouquet of flowers and a JIPPI JAPPA hat. Now what we want to know is what is a jippi jappa hat KU KLUX FOR BALTIMORE Stressing the necessity of keeping alive the idea of white superiority, S. A. Steele, a white preacher of the Southern Methodist Church argues in the "Methodist" for a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Baltimore. According to Steele, the Klan would have a quieting effect on lawlessness and Bolshevism, and I. W. W. among foreigners. For Rev. Steele's benefit, it is worth stating that the automobile thieves who have stolen thousands of cars in the city in the past two years, and who now make the state roads unsafe are native whites, as are also the bank robbers and store looters who have terrorized the business section recently. Foreigners and colored folk commit crimes like all elements of the population, but if the police cannot apprehend them and have them punished in the courts, it is hardly likely that the Ku Klux could do much. Rev. Steele ought to know that Baltimore does not fear the Ku Klux. Any organization of white hoodlums, to take the law in their own hands will soon find an organization of colored hoodlums to retaliate. Instead of stamping out lawlessness, mob rule promotes it. It does seem that if Rev. Steele and his Southern Methodists would use as much time in constructive Christian Church work among their own people that this city needs they would find their hands too full to think about any outside organizations of whatever purpose. . . . . We should clean up Hayti, where our American marines are being debauched" declared Rev. Robert Watson, white, before a Washington audience last week. The marines' attempt to "clean-up" the island is attested by the long list of more than three thousand natives killed by United States troops in the past five years. What Rev. Watson might advocate is the placing of rum beyond the reach of the marines serving in Haiti. THEN AND NOW Just a year or two ago contractors were bidding against each other and offering highest wages for skilled and unskilled workers. Last week seven hundred men answered an advertisement for 100 laborers in one of the local papers. The lesson is plain. Wages and prices are coming down. Big manufacturing plants are curtailing their force. Some of the smaller factories are shutting down. Thousands of workers face a lower scale of wages or loss of their jobs. Those who have saved up something in the period during which they received high wages, will have enough to tide them over the period or readjustment and depression. Those who have spent their money as fast as they earned it, face the prospect of a long and jobless winter. The Chicago Urban League advises workingmen to hold on to their jobs as never before, to lose no more time than they are compelled to lose, and to give their employers an honest day's work for the wages they receive. This is advice of the right kind, and Baltimore with its newly acquired migrants from the South numbering more than ten thousand can not do better than to receive it gladly. "Women smoke pipes in Jamaica"—news item. That's nothing, they smoke cigarettes at Goucher College. THE PROPOSED BANK MERGER Yesterday in New York took place one of the most important meetings of the year. Representatives of seven big business corporations of the country came together in the Vanderbilt Hotel, and organized the Allied Banking Corporation with a capital of one million dollars. Under present conditions colored banks in our large cities are doing millions of dollars worth of business as individual institutions, but they have no connections with the big banking houses in New York, and cannot act as a financial reservoir for colored firms doing large business outside their territory. The new policy organizes the largest financial interests in the country under the leadership of the best financiers the race has produced, and such an organization because of its backers and its capital represented will enjoy a closer affiliation with the big metropolitan institutions. In addition to this, it is the plan of the new organization to finance colored business enterprises in cities and towns too small to support state banks, and to establish branch banks and trust companies in every large city of the country. The bank is the heart of business everywhere, and with a national banking corporation on a large scale composed of the financial units in the large cities, Negro enterprise enters a new field of unlimited possibilities. THE INDIAN HEAD EXPLOSION THE INDIAN HEAD EXPLOSION Official findings of the committee investigating the fire and explosion of 100,000 pounds of powder at the Indian Head Proving Grounds are awaited with some interest, not only for the sake of the relatives of the two men killed and the others injured but also for the sake of eliminating the possibility of another disaster. Indian Head had hundreds of colored workers during the war, who made and shipped millions of pounds of powder without a single casualty. It was generally understood that the powder could not explode unless confined, and would ignite and burn like paper in the open air. Only when the powder was shut up in the gun chamber, where the gases formed could not escape, could explosions occur. There might have been some defects in the powder manufactured under peace conditions, some negligence in the inspection of it or in the handling of it. Wherever it lies, the peace of mind and the safety of the Indian Head employees demand that it be ferreted out and responsibility of the disaster placed upon the proper parties. WAR AND THE FARMER The preliminary report of the Census Bureau on Maryland Farms and Farm property apparently indicates that the war and the resultant period of prosperity has decreased the number of Maryland farmers. Figures show that there are in Maryland one thousand fewer farmers today than ten years ago, seven hundred and fifteen fewer farm owners and five hundred and seventy-five fewer farm tenants. The average farm in 1910 was 103 acres, and in 1920 is 99 acres. While farms were decreasing in number and in size, 1794 farm owners with debt free farms in 1910 reported in 1920 that they had been compelled to place a mortgage on their property. One eighth of all the farms in the state are operated by the 6,209 colored farmers who are 163 fewer in numbers than they were ten years ago. Fifty seven per cent of the colored men or 3,549 own their own farms, 151 are managers and 2,509 tenants. While all farm property including land and buildings implements and machinery and live stock have nearly doubled in value in the past ten years, so that they are worth today $463,643,120 when they were worth only $286,107,028 in 1910, the amount of mortgage debt and the average debt on each farm has doubled at the same time. From this point of view the farmer is better off than he was ten years ago. However the evidence is plain that city life has outbid farm life in attracting workers, and that the colored farmer has showed no more disposition to resist the lure of the city, than the white farmer. Of one thing-the Maryland farmers may be proud, namely that 57 percent of them own their own farms, as compared with 69 per cent of whites, which is a three hundred per cent better showing than city dwellers can show for this year. No curfew: rings in Jersey City for the Negro. The chief of police found the experiment endangered his job. SHARP STREET COMMUNITY HOUSE Sometime ago the AFRO-AMERICAN printed a picture of the Sharp Street Community House now under construction by the congregation of Sharp Street Methodist Episcopal Church. In another column in this issue will be found a description of the building and the purposes for which it will be used. With its roof garden, gymnasium, girl's shelter, sowing school and club rooms in a modern building furnished with the latest equipment, this church, Sharp Street will have a community centre second to none in the city. It will be a place where the Christian influence is placed around the younger people especially during their week day recreation periods. Such a community house is needed in every section of the city, and Sharp Street is to be congratulated for leading the way among the Protestant Churches.

Eutwat St. THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL Uncle Dudley in the Boston Globe Another Force Bill The South is solid because the whites vote the Democratic ticket, and the Negroes find it difficult to vote at all. Representative Tinkham now proposes that Congress investigate Negro disfranchisement with a view to reapportion representation in Congress, and in the electoral college, on the basis of strict adherence to the 14th amendment. The military victory of the North in the Civil War resulted in three additions to the United States Constitution. The 13th amendment abolished slavery; the 14th and the 15th sought to compel the white people of the South to admit Negroes to full voting privileges. But, except for the 13th, which was in a way simply an echo of the Emancipation Proclamation, none of these amendments has been operative in States where the Negro population is dense. For 10 years after the surrender of Gen. Lee, the North, with the Republican party astride a soldier's saddle attempted to force Negro suffrage with rifles. The failure of reconstruction demonstrated that the Negro could only use his ballot when a Yankee soldier stood guard over the box. In the early '90s the attempt at compulsion was seriously revived by the "Force Bill." The country however, turned the Republicans out at the next election and recalled Mr. Cleveland to the White House. Since then the tendency has been to accept the situation pending the creation of a real Republican party in the South. Beginning with the days of President McKinley, all the border States have been, at one time or another, with the Republicans. During the recent campaign the National Committee sent the Governor of Massachusetts as far South as North Carolina on a thawing-out mission, and was rewarded on election day by the sight of Missouri, Tennessee, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware in the winning column. In fact, Kentucky was the only border State they lost. Better still, Louisiana, although Democratic as usual, gave a remarkable Republican vote. Mr. Tinkham now suggests that the plan of peace penetration be discarded for war and rough methods. He has the Constitution emphatically on his side, as the 14th amendment explicitly declares that, when the right to vote for National or for State officers is denied, the basis of representation shall be reduced in proportion to the number of persons disfranchised. ```markdown ``` There is no doubt that a man or woman of African descent residing in the solid South finds great, if not insuperable, difficulties in the way of expressing preference on election day. Years ago the shotgun was the instrument with which the whites kept the colored men out of the way when there was voting. Latterly, State Constitutions have been amended in order to produce a similar result. A literacy test, discreetly administered, a property qualification, and the celebrated "grandfather clause" have combined to compel colored people to look on from a distance while the white folks ratified the choice of their primaries. The figures of the 1918 election reveal the situation. Alabama, which sends ten Congressmen, cast 62,000 votes, while Minnesota and Iowa, both of which have ten Congressmen, cast, respectively, 299,000 and 313,000 votes. The solidarity of the solid South has been a misfortune to the country. While it remains sectionalism will cloud every issue. The World War is over, and the Civil War ought to be. The United States can never enjoy full political health until its people arrange themselves in parties without thought of the Mason and Dixon line. There is, for instance, an unrealized community of interest between a manufacturing center in South and one in Connecticut or in Ohio, and the farmers of the West have much more in common with those of Georgia than they have with bankers in Chicago or in New York. The South will reach its deserved place in American affairs when it becomes the home of two real parties. Of course it is slow business—the creation of a Republican party in a region where every able-bodied white man once wore the gray, but it is worth while. The day is hound to come when the whites of the South will divide and bid against each other for the colored vote. When that time arrives Southern political leaders will sit up nights thinking over plans for persuading colored people to go to the polls.

Hopes That Someone May Arise In Defense of Judgment Who will rise up for us as a race against the evil doors, or who will stand up for us against the workers of iniquity? We as a race have been chased like a partridge by the gunmen. We for 55 years have been sailing up and down the bloody seas of persecution, discrimination and segregation. O Lord, how long will these things be? A new administration is about to take charge of the government. Let us as a race hope that there may be someone to rise up in defense CURRENT AND OTHERWISE By W. H. A. MOORE A Canadian literary opinion of America is to be found in the Toronto ONLOOKER which savors of contempt and slight regard for character of the present-day American Literary output. "The Onlooker unawed by the loud-tone asseverations of Americans in general, declares that "The average American has nothing to offer Canada that she does not already have. There are not a few reasons for this situation. "The average American is swayed by no great philosophy, has produced none; is lean in originality, superficial and excitable in politics and manufactures his literature, for example, like soap We, who are sound British stock, ought not to allow a bad and vulgar example." This is "rough stuff" with a vengeance. It means, in a word, that culture, the true badge of a superior social instinct, is sadly lacking in the social expression of American life. There is no color here excepting in what can be discovered in the color of the ink employed by the Onlooker in the printing of its very interesting pages. Our Canadian contemporary is printed in black ink. This fact, I somehow feel, would take something of the rough edge from its strictures if it were not for the fact that most journals of sound and, occasionally, sense are printed in black ink. It is like a cry in the night this not unbattery arrangement of American vulgarity of spirit which closes as follows: "If we are conquered by present day American literature, which is purely an advertising success, it will be the cheapest, the most sordid conquest ever made by one nation over another since the beginning of time." So much for the social inferiority of the American. Marcus Garvey has been calling W. E. B. DuBois names that do not look good in print. W. E. B. DuBois is responding by publishing an estimate of the latitudinal Garvey in the renowned CRISIS. And thus two great movements come to intellectual blows concerning the apparently inescapable question of "Who is the LEADER?" I am very certain of one thing, in this connection, that if either or both of these interesting men were to be suddenly called to the bourne from which there is no return that the race would go on making substantial progress as though neither had lived. WORK is what makes leaders not CONCEIT. "Tuberculosis is spreading among colored people." This is sadly true. But the attempt to determine that the "white plague is finding a richer field among the Negroes of the land it is among the whites of a certain social status is stretching the question to a thinness of distressing transparency. City life is not producing sturdy Negroes. Its lights and tempestuous airs are quite beyond the traditional control of the Negroes and women who enter the spheres of its banale influence. Intelligent co-operation not meddlesome professionalism, must be employed to lessen the ravages of the dread diseases among the people. Tuberculosis, however, is a white plague and Negroes are simply among its victims because they are under the pressure of a "white" civilization. XMAS HYMN. When his peanuts are gone. of justice; let us hope as a race that our white teachers will stop putting some of the evils on the blackboard for my people will copy—such as bank robbing, holdups, dynamiting, strikes and murder. Let us hear in mind the teachings of the good book which says: "God is not mocked, for whatever a man soweth that shall he also read." My people are noted for copying after the "superior" race. But My Dear Man, We Could Not Get On At All Without This / Churches, And Business Can Go On Without Interfering With Church Construction. To the Editor: We must stop building so many churches. We have plenty of them. What we need is factory, homes, plenty of land, plenty of money and then we can have all the religion we want. We send our boys and girls to school to learn trades, and when they come out a graduate, they have to be submissive to some cracker to make a living, and then probably not at his or her trade. Let some of you money men organize a company such as a chain of stores and try to make every colored house hold a stockholder so if the white man drops his prices it will be profitable to every colored consumer to buy from their own people. The colored people are the greatest consumers in this country and we should try to keep our money in our race. Thousands of dollars are spent yearly by the colored race in amusement parlor and many places we spend money where we are not wanted and are jim crowed. There are 100,000 colored people in the city of Baltimore. It takes at least $1.00 per day living expenses for each person, which equals $100,000.00 a day and $30,500,000 per year. Half of this amount will open a chain of stores which can be increased for two years, and thereafter build a factory, or factories, apartments, etc. Gentleman until we learn to produce as well as consume we will always be at the money of these crackers.

NO JUSTICE IN TOWSON Towson, M.J. Dec. 16—"There might be some chance of the Baltimore County School Board giving Baltimore County Teachers a square deal, if the school board would move out of the Towson Courthouse," a Baltimore County teacher tola da representative of the Afro-American this week. He was referring to the fact that the county school board recently decided to give teachers a $200 raise and colored teachers a $150 raise. White teachers already get higher salaries than colored teachers. "If the school board met in a pince away from the court house there might be some chance of justice," the teacher said, and pointed out the fact that white juries of Towson recently convicted on assault charge, John Snowden, Isaiah Fountain, and last week John Dorsay. Gus Grayson, white attorney for Dorsey pointed out that he was con- victed by the jury solely because he had a bald head and the girl said she was assaulted by a bald headed man. Grayson told all the colored people ot Towson to stay off the street at night, as they might also be picked up on a similar charge. Atlantic City Has 10,948 People Washington, D. C., Dec. 15.

"THE WHITE MAN'S BURDEN" A Story of Africa and the War Predicted by Marcus Garvey This is the First Installment of "The White Man's Burden" (Will Be Continued NEXT WEEK) I could not make out at all what had happen to me. Here I was not a military living thing in sight, plodding long under a scorching sun, in a camp entirely unknown to me. The landscape, the vegetation, the air itself seemed strange, and I stopped a knife, notwithstanding the heat and lack of shelter, to look about me, collect my wits and try to make out where I was, and how I came to be here. A cursory survey of my surroundings showed that I was on a road plain, extending behind me as far as I could see. I must have traveled over this level ground for many miles to reach the place where I was standing. To the left I could not make out a blue streak along the horizon, which I thought might be distant hills, or perhaps water, a lake, or might be the sea. To the right I could see, also in the far distance, what were unmistakably hills, with rounded tops and appearing to be clad with forests. In front of me, and much nearer than the hills, the right were other hills, with very high, verdant with foliage, and cleft with many valleys, in one or two of which I thought I caught glimpses of water I thought. These hills glimpsed so soon be more than a mile or so away, and the prospect of reaching the of the trees so soon afforded me great relief, for I was really suffering from the heat, and felt both hungry and thirsty. I might find fruit and as sure to find water. Meanwhile, I felt very tired, I could endure rest a while before I went on further. The plain over which I was traveling was covered with grass, so or six inches high, and although it was somewhat brown and dry, my seat was comfortable enough. No was pretty high, and it seemed great that I must be not far from a equator. At any rate it was little mud midday, though I found to my surprise and consternation that I had yet watch. Now I always carried a watch wherever I went and felt lost without one. I could not have left it home, and I must have lost it somewhere or perhaps have been abducted. And now I began again to things more practical. Where was How did I come to be here? I must have walked, and I could remember nothing at all of my journey, I seemed to have been dropped here, perhaps carried there by somebody, and abandoned. Kidnappe grabs. But I remember no such performance; I had suffered no violence, and I had not been robbed, almost of my watch. There was money in my pocket, a pocket knife, to my great relief a revolver, which I had taken into the country when I began my vacation. That I remembered distinctly—going into New Hampshire to spend my vacation in a farm. And that was the last thing I could remember until I suddenly found myself in my present medication. What had occurred in is interval? For a time I cudedle my brain in final. I came to the conclusion that I must have developed a valuable consciousness, and had been acquiring somewhere as a different person from my true self. I had of such cases, and it seemed at no time to be the only explanation of my situation. That would account for the blank in my consciousness, but also for the fact that I found myself in a new and strange locality, but my self had returned to perfectly who I was, and where I consciousness and now I remember was, and where I was, when this alter personality or second consciousness and taken possession of me. My life came back to me true and clear. I was born in New York City, educated at Yale, and was just starting out in the world as clerk in the Barclay National Bank, with a good chance for advancement if I could prove my worth. This summer I had my vacation in Lake Sumac and got up to a farmhouse near Lake Sumac to spend it. The weather had been rather torrid since my arrival—and at this point I lost track of myself. To account for this gap in my recollection I was absolutely at sea. No. Stop! I did remember telling my landlady after breakfast that I was going out presently to watch the men at work in the hayfield. But I must gone somewhere else, probably to the railroad station, two miles away, and then come on her. But where? That must find out forthwith. All of this self-communication had taken me about two minutes. At the very instant, apparently, when I recovered consciousness, or my own consciousness (if I had a double one) I had stopped in my tracks to take my bearings, and now, as the sun was pretty hot and I was tired, I set out without further delay, for the green hills and shady woods I saw and far ahead. I plowed along, exiting every minute to com- upon some path or road which I might follow and so, perhaps arrive at some house, or meet somebody of whom I might make inquiry as to my whereabouts. But I had no such luck. I was in a pathless wilderness, and I was puzzled to imagine in what part of the country I could be. As I have already said, I inferred from the height of the sun that I was considerably further south than New-mlsburgh and the course I was taking was toward the west, so that the water I thought I saw at a distance on the lef was south of my present position. I thought it probable that I was somewhere in the southwestern part of the United States, and that the water might be a loop or bend of the Mississippi, or possibly the Colorado, or some of the bayous of Louisiana. I was entirely unacquainted with that part of the country, and had not the remotest idea how it looked. Maybe I was on the "Staked Plains." Presently, as I neared the hill for which I was making, I speed, a few hundred feet ahead, in the direction in which I was going, a flash of light from a point near the ground, that looked like the reflection of sunlight from some bright object hidden in the grass. A few steps more it vanished. Yet a few more, and there was another flash, not quite in the same place. What could it be? It suggested a gun, but I could see nobody, and there was no motion, as of a moving body, in the grass. Perhaps it was an old tin can left by some picnic party, though why anyone should picnic in such a place was not easy to understand. However, there was nothing for me to do but to march up and find out what it was. It might help me to clear up the mystery of my whereabouts, at all events, and no matter what it might turn out to be, I could not be much worse off than I was now. As these thoughts were running through my mind, I was drawing nearer to the spot from which the flushes had seemed to come, and now I began to be able to distinguish their source. I could make out a sort of dun colored object, lying low in the grass, and having a decidedly artificial appearance, which became more and more evident as I approached. At length I reached the spot, and found that the object that had attracted my attention was a dark brownish red mass, shaped like a flattish dome, and looking as if it might be the upper part of a large globe, the greater portion being under the surface of the ground. The portion that was visible was eight or ten feet in diameter and perhaps ten inches high in the center, thus forming a segment of a sphere or big dimensions. At various points irregularly distributed over the surface were small spots ground at, highly polished, which reflected the sun's rays at various angles, these flashes of light having first attracted my notice. The mass appeared as if it were made of some hard gum or composition, like gutta percha or cultivated rubber, and as if it had been roughly dabbed on, though the polished surfaces had a metallic glint, somewhat blush, and it did not take me long to find out that it was something I had never seen before, and of whose nature I was entirely ignorant. It encouraged me, though, for it showed that the region was inhabited and as I rose from my brief examination and looked about for other signs of human kind. I saw another similar disc about a hundred feet away, and still another on the other side, and as I took a wide sweep of the plain, so far as I could see, were these high elevations, some showing dark and even black, from my standpoint, and others glittering with scintillations of light. I could not imagine what these things could be I passed my hand over the hears one. It was hard, coolish, and fanned that I felt a slight trembling or vibration, something like that produced in a house when a heavy wagon passes on a stony street. This suggested the idea that it might be the root of some sort of habitation. Could it be a cyclone cell, such as I had read about as being constructed in certain parts of the country, where cyclones or tornadoes were to be expected? I looked carefully for an entrance, and circled about at various distances from it, to see if there were any signs of burrowing, or of trap doors, but there was nothing. If these things really were cyclone cells I must, in all probability, be somewhere in the southwestern United States. I returned to the dome I had come to first, and struck "it with my haunches or see if it would hollow. It seemed to be solid, for there was no reverberation. Then I took my revolver from my pocket and hammered with that. There was still no reverberation, but to my great surprise, there was the sound of a human voice, faint, as though very distant, but gradually 'becoming stronger. At length I caught words, and in a moment they were clear and distinct, and appeared to come from inside the dome. "Who are you?" someone asked, and I replied: "I am a stranger here, and have lost my way." "Where are you from?" "New York." "Unin: Wait a moment." "Woll here was something to hold on to, anyway. A telephone, apparently, with a man at the other end, but a telephone of a new sort, of which I had never heard. It must be an experimental thing, I thought. Some obscure inventor has put it here to test it before he brings it out. 'Uubess indeed my first idea At length I reached the base of the hill that stretched for miles on either side, and skirted them for a short distance in each direction in search of on his feet.

I determined to test this again, and so I trapped upon it sharply with my pistol. In a moment I heard the same voice again. "Well!" "Where are you? Let me in." "You cannot come in. There is no entrance." "Then where are you?" "I am many miles away. You are rapping on a solid sphere." So it was a telephone, after all. "We are sending you a guble." "Thank you. Shall I wait here for him?" "Walk on toward the hills eastward from where you are at present, and you will met him in about half an hour." "Eastward? Why. I was traveling toward the west. There was some mistake. I shouted again. "You mean westward, don't you? No reply." "I say, you mean west instead of east. do you not?" Silence. I rapped loudly, but could click no answer. Whatever was at the other end of the line, had evidently gone away, and I was left to my meditations. However, I was encouraged and knew that aid an information were near. The hills I was making for were evidently in the west. There was the gun, on my left hand, and the only other hills to be seen were in the opposite direction, to the north. Behind me was the endless plain. So I ploughed on, revolving in my mind the structure, material and purpose of these curious objects that now lay behind me. At length I reached the base of the hills that stretched for miles on either side, are skirted them for a short distance in each direction in search of a path, which I spat at length in one of the green valleys, running along a valley, beside a clear By T. SHIRBY HODGE stopped the song that I but came on down the descending path, dancing and swinging his arms in the instinctive and irrepressible manner of childhood. He was oddly clothed, too, although as I had never seen a southern Negro at home, I could not say that his dress was unusual, and it was very evident to me by this time that I had landed after my wanderings, somewhere in the South—where I should now soon find out. The boy, who seemed to be about ten years old, and very active, robust and well-huilt, was dark, but not coal black, and had on a tunic or those of white cloth, reaching to the knee, with a bright-red belt about the waist. His arms were bare to the shoulder, and he had nothing However, I was in his power. I did not know where I was and he did. I was hungry and he could take me where I could get food. I was eager for the company of human beings and even this boy was better than no one, and he could guide me to others where I could procure rest and lodging. So we started on, the boy running and dancing ahead, and I following at a dignified distance, looking about as we progressed through the forest to see if I could recognize anything I saw. The boy ran on much like any other boy making little side excursions among the bushes beside the path, apparently capturing a bug of some kind, now and then, and starting up a small bird, which flew away so quickly that I rather heard than saw it. And so I sat and waited, and it seemed that, my fatigue combined with the balminess of the air, the refreshing shade the solitude of the forest and the murmuring of the stream put me to sleep, for I awoke suddenly to the sound of a distant shout, followed by singing in a childish voice, and presently I saw a young Negro lad coming down the path towards me. He was chanting some Negro melody, it appeared, in a curious object, with a broad a sounding predominating. Although it seemed to be English, it was English in such a distorted form, that I could only catch a word here and there, and his song was for me mostly a jumble. As he drew nearer he stopped the song and became silent, but came on down the descending path, dancing and swinging his arms in the instinctive and irrepressible manner of childhood. He was oddly clothed, too, although as I had never seen a southern Negro at home, I could not say that his dress was unusual, and it was very evident to me by this time that I had landed after my wanderings, somewhere in the South—where I should now find out. The boy, who seemed to be about ten years old, and very active, robust and well-lit, was dark, but not coal black, and had on a tunic or gloss of white cloth, reaching to the knee, with a bright-red belt about the waist. His arms were bare to the shoulder, and he had nothing on his feet. As he approached I could not but admire the picture he presented of perfect health, intense vitality, and graceful movement, and the fine suggestion of supple muscularity, which would develop with advancing years. I may seem to exaggerate, but he reminded me of the beautiful brunette. Mercury in the great Museum of Naples. "This is what comes," I said to myself, "of plain living and an outdoor life. What a fine lad." In a few minutes he was beside me and staring at me round-eyed as if I were some monstrous apparition, but I log no time and immediately set about getting information as to my whereabouts. "Where are we, boy?" I said. "What State is this; where did you come from and who are you." He continued to stare and I began to lose patience. "Come, come wake up. What are you staring at?" said I; as he seemed to be a little frightened I tried to reassure him. "Don't stare at me so. I am not going to harm you. Tell me where I am, can't you?" "I never saw a white man before," he replied. "You are the first one that ever came round here." So I thought, this must be in the Black Belt I have heard so much about, but how does this little nigra come to use such 'good' language, with none of the darky accent or idioms Is this one result of the Tuskegee business? I had never had any great faith in that, but somehow this little boy had certainly been well brought up, in spite of his bare feet and scanty clothing. "Never saw a white man? Well, now you have seen one, toen your tongue and tell me where I am and where you are going to take me." "You are in Africa, sir, and my father sent me over to find you and bring you back to his house. "Africa: This—Africa: Oh, I see that is a nickname for some portion of the black belt, like Egypt in Illinois. But where are we going? "Over the hill to the cast, he said; pointing in the direction whence he had come. "To the cast—why that is west." "No, sir, this is cast from here." This boy must be half-witted, I thought, to myself, alking as he does about Africa and the cast. However, I was in his power. I did not know where I was and he did. I was hungry and he could take me where I could get food. I was eager for the company of human beings and even this boy was better than no one, and he could guide me to others, where I could procure rest and lodging. So we started on, the boy running and dancing ahead, and I following at a dignified distance, looking about as we progressed through the forest to see if I could recognize anything I saw. The boy ran on much like any other boy making little side excursions among the bushes beside the path, apparently capturing a bug of some kind, now and then, or starting up a small bird, which flow away so quickly that I rather heard than saw it. It began to be mototonous, and I was tired. "How much farther have we to?" I called out. "Only a little way," he replied, maybe half a mile." On he plodded. I began to think it must be half a rustic mile, which may mean three or four miles, according to the section of country you happen to be in. But presently I relied to see that the forest looked thinner ahead. I could see glimpses of sky between the trees and it son became evident that we were approaching an opening, a lake perhaps or the end of the forest. Suddenly I remembered the curious doom-like structure I had examined just before I entered the shade of the trees, and I asked the boy if he knew what they were. "Yes," he said, "but I am not allowed to tell." "Some new invention" I said, "just as I thought; somebody is making experiments with them." "We can talk through them sometimes," replied the lad, and not a word more would he utter on the subject, though I piled him with questions for quite a while, and so we plodded on in silence. The woods grew lighter and lighter, the sky clearer and bright, and at length we emerged from the shadows of the trees, and stood upon the brow of a gentle slope, and looked out upon the most charming landscape I had ever beheld. I was looking down upon a broad valley, bordered on either side by low sloping hills like the one on which we ge were standing. Straight ahead the landscape melted away in a far distant misty blue. The prevailing hue was green although here and there were patches of brown, red, blue and yellow indications of cultivation and varied crops. To this variety of color were added the differing shades of green from dark to light and from yellowish to bluish, forming altogether attractive contrasts of light and form. Scattered here and there were patches of shrubbery and trees, fruit orchards and shade trees, and dotting the landscape at lower, as far as the eye could see were dwellings as I took them to be, white, but not glaringly so, being tempered apparently by slight admixtures of gray or blue. There were, within sight three of four large structures, that looked to me like public buildings of some sort, located as they were mostly on slight elevations, with imposing platforms and wide winding steps in front of them. The whole surface of the valley was gently undulating, and under the level rays of the setting sun presented a fairy scene. The sun was getting low, and I now began to suspect that the lad was right when he insisted that we were headed toward the east, for so far as . . . had observed we had not altered our general direction since we started, and yet the sun was not in front of us, but behind, and the shadows of the trees under which we stood were east along our path. There could be no doubt of it. We were looking toward the east, and the sun, white behind us, was at our left, and we were south of it. Somehow and somewhere I had crossed the equator and was now in the southern hemisphere. For a moment I was overwhelmed by the thought, and sank down upon the turf to think. What a wanderer I must have been! The boy was very likely right, and we were in Africa. In Africa, very likely 8,000 or 10,000 miles from home. I felt in my pocket for money, and took it out to count. It didn't take me long. One dollar and sixty-nine cents! Ten thousand miles from home, with $1.60! I was completely overcome, almost fainted, but was roused by the lad's voice. "That is of no use here," he was saving. "That money," said he. "It's trash, no good." "How am I ever going to get home again?" I murmured to myself in despair. "My father will see that you get back to your own country," the boy replied. "Let us go on." There was nothing for me to do but follow my guide, and so I rose slowly from the ground and we went on down the slope. While we were halted on the brow of the hill, I had seen a few human figures moving about among the houses, and quite a multitude in front of one of the large edifices which I assumed were public buildings. As we advanced I saw that all of those who were near enough to be distinguished were black, or at least what we call "colored" in the United States. A trial makes you a customer LET ME HELP YOU he booed. The boy stopped instantly and with a dignity I should have believed impossible in one of his age and race punished colly: "We do not use that, word here, nor do we allow any man to use it to us." "And what can you do to prevent it?" I replied rather hotly, a little netted at being pulled up short by a pickanimmy. "I, myself, can at this moment do nothing, you are older and stronger than I. But I shall report your words tomy father, and him you will have to obey." "I've half a mind to give you a good thrashing for your impudence," I said, but regretted the outburst, when I came to consider that I was entirely at the mercy of these people until I could fall in with men of my own race and find shelter with them. The lad took no notice whatever of my last remark excepting that he seemed to hurry his pace a little, we approached the outlying houses of the settlement. When we where within perhaps a hundred yards of one of the houses, a tall Negro emerged from it and came slowly toward us . "There is my father," cried the lady, and ran to meet him. They both stood still and waited for me as I advanced slowly, partly overcome with fatigue and party uncertain of my reception. His son had evidently already informed him of my uncompensatory remarks, for as we met his first words were: "We are Negroes, sir. Be advised and bear that in mind." "I did not mean to offend," I replied. "The word is common enough in my country." "Yes, yes, I know," sad lie, "but you will not use it here; but come into the house and get food and drink and sleep, for you are overcome with GEORGE T.

As he walked on I pondered much upon the extraordinary reception I had met from a black man, and the still more extraordinary circumstances in which I found myself. I had not yet really found out where I was, nor how I got there, for the boy's few words had produced little impression. To be sure I knew now that I was in the southern hemisphere. I had satisfied myself as to that. And I might very well be in Africa, although I did not remember ever having heard or read of any such place as that in which I new was. My host, with his son, was ahead of me, and I had a good opportunity to scrutinize his person. He was above the middle height, perhaps five feet ten and well porportioned, about forty years of age as near as I could judge, muscular in appearance, well nourished without the slightest tendency toward corpulture, an oval face a little full, with a rank, open expression, and a penetrating eye. He had a long flowing garment, a sort of toga, thrown over his left shoulder, and reaching within six inches or so of the ground. His head was bare, with closely cropped wooly hair and no indication of baldness. His feet were have executing for sandals. "The people are evidently not savages." I said to myself, "but I must be a little careful of what I say or do, until - find out more about them." "We were now near hearing the house and the Negro turned to me and invited me again to enter, but I longed to see the face of one of my own kind and as politely us I could, I declined his invitation. "You are very kind." I said, "and I appreciate it very much, but I wish you would please direct me to the house of some white man, where I can stay until I am able to make arrangement for my return home." A benignant smile overspread his countenance as he answered me. To be Continued E. A. GIBSON OR AND EMBALMER Hire. Open Day and Night. Madison 1417-J BALTIMORE, MD.

Without saying a word, he is said to have made a lunge at a man named Wallace slightly cutting him. Wallace made his getaway, and then Champion is alluded to have driven his knife into the breast of his wife, making a deep wound eight and one half inches long. She arose from her seat, went behind the bar, sanguored out again saying "It's cut my arm off." She fell when she reached the pavement. Jealously is said to have prompted the crime. The couple are said to have quarreled a few days before. The police were quickly on the scene, and arrested Champion. The girl was rushed to the South Baltimore General Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The alleged murderer when he heard his wife was dead became morose and declined food offered him, and had not partaken of a meal from the time of his arrest until he left the Southern Police Station for the City Jail last Saturday opening to await the action of the Grand Jury. The jury summoned by Corner Reinhard at the Southern Police Station last Friday night, Champion was held responsible for his wife's death. The witnesses included Hyman, Thomas, Braxton 105 W.

Judge Also Scolds Man Who Charged Wife With Adultery Humphrey Wallace., 1116 N. Cave street, had an uncomfortable inning in Circuit Court on Thursday of last week, when Judge Stanton dismissed a suit for an absolute divorce instituted by him against his wife and at the same time castigated him for being eight weeks arrears in his alimony. Wallace sought to justify himself by alleging that his attorney had advised him to not pay the alimony due as he needed the money. Wallace instituted suit against his wife, Mrs. Mattie Wallace for absolute divorce alleging abandonment. He then changed his charge to adultery. He claimed that the body of a dead infant found in the rear of Mrs. Wallace's home was that of her baby. She indignantly denied the allegation. Her attorney, Roy S. Bond, argued that there was not a scintillation of evidence to snow that Mrs. Wallace had been unfaithful. Following the dismal of the suit, Judge Stanton signed an order awarding the woman the custody of their minor children. Thomas and Genevieve Wallace and, ordering the plaintiff to support them.

Still another woman tells me that she washes windows with a damp chamois cloth and clear water, wrings the chamois dry and wipes them and that the glass dries clear and clean.
