NAVY DEPARTMENT
SHOOTS BULL
Port an Prince, Haiti, Dec. 16.—In the attempt to distract the attention of the American public from the outrages and massacres committed by the American marines in Haiti, the Navy Department then its officers is sending out stories to the American press that Haitian are cannibals.
A leading citizen says: "The marines did not shoot us down because we were savages; but because they were drunk and waited our goods or our women."
Yellling "murder at the top of her voice, and declaring that her husband had pointed a gun at her, Mrs. Susie Brown, wife of Captain George W. 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.
Some time ago Mrs. Brown lost her suit for limited divorce and alimony from her husband, and immediately filed suit for absolute divorce. This was unexpectedly withdrawn when called for trial.

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.

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."

President Harding's New
Congress Will Render Decision After March 4th
Washington, D. C., Dec. 16.—
When President elect Harding calls
together his new Congress in extra
session after March fourth, one of
the things that will come before
the Senate will be the move of
Joseph R. Pollard of Virginia to
unsatent Senator elect Carter Glass,
white, Democrat.
Pollard claims that Glass failed
to comply with the Virginia election
laws. The Virginia law requires a
certificate of candidacy to be filed
with the Secretary of State thirty
days prior to the election.
Glass is said not to have filed his
notice for the candidacy within the
required time.
Glass declares he did file his
papers within the required time.
Pollard says he didn't and the fight
is on.
Running on an independent Republican ticket, against Glass, Polhard polled over 10,000 votes in the recent senatorial election. Colored people of Virginia also sent independent colored delegates to the Republican Convention in Chicago

Albany, Ga., Dec. 16.—Rev. T. A. White is here in the hospital after being taken from his home by four white men, carried off into the woods and beaten to unconsciousness by his tormentors who used a heavy leather wagon trace.
The assailants told White that he had set the colored people a bad example by dressing up and "wearing a white collar." He was laid across a log and beaten with a trace by the four men who took terms one succeeding another as fast as they become tired.
The night was cold and the rain was falling. The crackers went away and left him unconscious without having put his clothes back on. They thought him dead when they left. Early the next morning he became conscious and reached a friend's house from where he was sent to the hospital.

KU KLUX RAID
NEWSPAPER
OFFICE IN TEXAS
Steal Books, Files And The
Whole Edition Of Colored
Weekly In Houston
PARADE IN RICHMOND
Populace Unafraid, Buys Firearms To Protect Homes
Houston, Texas, Dec. 16.—Ku Klux Klan of this place raided the office of the Houston Informer, published by C. 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.
In an extra edition printed Saturday, Editor Richardson charged the raid was made by the Ku Klux Klan because he disclosed their meeting place in the Courthouse and published a face-simile of membership subscription given to one F. A. Bryan, white.
In his Saturday issue, Mr. Richardson denounces the Ku Klux Klan us an "infernal and infamous organization, doomed to fall like the Hun." He declared that the Klan has been organized in the spirit of rebellion and insurrection, and said that the "federal government should not tolerate it."
He adds, "This paper is not scared one D.—bit." Negroes of Houston are told to "go about the even tear of their way; to keep a stiff upper lip and to pay their poll tax right now."
A master key was employed by the Ku Klux to open the Yale lock of the Informer office, and the raid was staged early in the morning. News flashed all over the city and served to advertise the colored weekly, which sold 5,000 extra copies before six o'clock.
Richmond, Va., Dec. 16.—Between five and seven o'clock hundreds of men, garbed in long white, ghostly masks, paraded through the streets here, advertising a big meeting of the Ku Klux Klan at the auditorium. Thursday night, when white newspapers refused to print any announcement of it.
Speakers inflamed the whites to rise against the colored population urging them to substitute lynch law for orderly procedure.
The parade and the meeting were denounced by leading white news-papers and the "Times Dispatch said editorially, "that there was neither room nor need for this Klan in America."
The Daughters of Confederacy, white, urged authorities to prohibit the local organizations from using the name of Ku Klux Klan, which has been made sacred by the men who hore it in days gone by.
The Ku Klux parade did not enter the colored section. Colored people armed themselves and are still continuing to buy firearms in order to defend their homes.
New York, Dec. 16—In public statements made by Kernal W. J. Simmons, Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, there are at least 9,000 members of the order in New York City "ready for any emergency that might come to pass."
Norfolk, Va., Dec. 16—City officials refused permission to the recently organized post of the Ku Klux Klan to use Armory Hall for local meetings.

Chas. Henry Director Ebenezer Choir WATERS CHURCH DEBT EXPLAINED
Former and Present Pastors In Friendly Tilt At Ministers' Meeting
Statement of Rev. A. L. Gaines pastor of Trinity A. M. E. Church, that the left Waters A. M. E. Church nearly three years ago with only a debt of $13,500, drew fire from Rev. J. W. Norris, present pastor of Waters, before the A. M. E. Preachers meeting on Monday. According to Rev. Norris whose statement was published in last weeks Afro-American, $13,500 represented only the mortgage on the church, when Rev. Gaines left. Besides this mortgage indebted, Rev. Norris said, $1,000 in addition including a coal bill of several hundred dollars that was five years old. A bill of $500 owed the city for sewerage, and a still larger bill owed to Otto M. Debrau for renovating the church. All of these debts said Rev. Norris amounted to $3,000 which added to the $13,500 mortgage, made the church $13,500 in debt when he was sent there.
In the two years and seven months that Rev. Norris has been at Waters Church, he has added improvements of $3,150 and reduced the total indebtance of the church from over $21,000 to $1,500 with $3,336 in bank. Coal worth $1700 was bought and $2,000 in interest paid. The money the money in bank, Rev. Norris said, will be applied to the church debts.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN
WING—In loving remembrance of our oldest son, Robert Llewellyn Wing, who died December 16, 1919, age 17 years.
Tis a dear son who has left us in the bloom of life so bright. But you is the one who took him. And he deoth all things right.
Farewell dear son, but not forever. No more here your dear face we will see.
But the meeting will be joyful.
When again we meet with thee. God gives to each and every one. A blessing from above. Oh, what could he give to us as sweet.
As our dear son's love.
Oh gift of gifts, oh grace of love. Dear God, we cannot see. Why you saw it to take our son. Whom we loved so tenderly. Heart of our lives is buried deep. Under the sod.
Our own brother, Llewellyn sheep.
By his broken-hearted mother,
father and brothers.
One year ago you left us, Llewellyn
And I still have wondered why,
In the strength of youth and beauty
You were called so soon, to die.
But in our home you are fondly
remembered.
Sweet memories cling to your name
The hearts that loved you in deep
affection affection.
Still love you, dear Llewellyn, in
death just, the same.
By his lonely grandfather.
Henry L. Boyer.
The winter winds will sigh above
you.
And spring wreathe flowers on your
grave.
But never more to us, can you come,
Llewellyn.
You have gone to Him who gave.
Oh brown earth, warm and
fragrant.
Make soft his lowly bed.
And you gentle winds in the darkness.
Move easily over his head.
Ou aunties, to your bosoms press.
Fold close and safe your own.
For my dear Llewellyn is sleeping.
Dr. N. A. Moore but not alone.
Bis deserved, but not alone.
BARNETT—In loving remembrance of our dear mother, Mrs Hester A. Barnett, who departed this life, December 14, 1913.
It's just seven years ago today
Since mother took her flight
To Jesus who prepared the way
Presents unto light.
Of course we miss our mother dear
Tis but natural, we confess
But after a while with mother dear
We'll mingle with the blest.
By her children.
Rosa, Edward, Sophia, Marnie
THOMAS—In loving remembrance of my grand child, John MaeNeal Thomas, who departed this life two years ago on December 15, 1913.
Our darling budded on earth
To bloom in heaven
Another sweet flower has withered
A gem from the casket set free
A lamb in the fold of the sheepher
Who said, let them come unto me.
Weep not for little Johnnie
His gentle spirit has died;
He gently sleeps with Jesus
Among the silent dead.
By his grand mother
Sarah Thomas.
HUTCHINS—In leaving remembrance of
my dear husband George H. Hutchins,
who passed away, five years
ago, in 1915.
Gone but not forgotten.

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.

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.

James E. 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?

Speaking before the Baptist Minister's Conference at Union Baptist Church Monday, Rev J. I. L. Diggs, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church denounced Police Marshal Carter for his statement blaming Southern Negroes in Baltimore for the increase in crime.
"He is talking through his hat," Rev Diggs said. "Negroes have not been stealing automobiles, robbing banks or doing the greater part of this purse satching in the business part of the city." Rev Diggs urged the fifty-five independent Baptist Churches in the city to get together and resent all unwarranted and statements from the police head.

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.

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. Gradually the skin will take on a lighter, brighter tinge that radiates healthfulness and beauty.
In addition to the soap, cream and powder, Dr. Fred Palmer has prepared a hair dresser that is without equal for straightening, softening and increasing the growth of the hair. Only a hair dresser par-excellence would be marked with Dr. Fred Palmer's name, which has always stood for quality in toilet preparations.
There are many imitations of Dr. Fred Palmer's preparations, so be sure to ask for them by full name.

TRIAL OF BRIBERY

Now Belleved State Has Not
Fnongh Evidence To Convict
Men Charged With Giving
Girl $100
The trials of Bowen L. Harp,
Julia Edwards, Thomas &. Smith,
Robert. Gondiow and Benjamin
Allen, indicted for alleged conspir-
ney, “Have been indefinitely post-
poned. They were slated for lost
Monday in Criminal Court Part 1,
‘The indictments grew out of the
arrest. uf Bowen L. Harp, white,
owner of a hacking car, on a charge
of assaulting and robbing Miss Ed-
wards, who was bis fare. ‘The
woinan entered the man's machine
at Union Station, andewas ariven
around the city, in stead of the
places where she asked. When the
case against Harp was first Usted
for trial the woman could not be
found. She was later located in
Alantic City and brought here.
She alleged that she had been
paid $159 in Smith's Hotel ta leave
the ely. ‘The indictments of Harp
on a charge of attempt Co obstruct
Instice, of Smith, Goodiow and
Allen for alleged assisting ih felony
and af the woman and the men
fur alleged conspiracy followed,
Sinith and Goodiow were re-
teased on bail, with Howard Ven-
able as surety, Allen was in At
lantie City at the time und the
woman was sent to jail. After a
long stay she was released an bail,
however. Harp was convicted of
assaulting and robbing Miss Ed-
wards and given three years in the
Penetentiary 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
cises inay be called for trial at any
time, however.
‘A mance at the trial docket in
the office of Ure Clerk of the Crim-
Inat Court reveuled the fact that no
attorney entered his appearance as
counsel for the acensed.

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.

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.

THE PASSING OF UNCLE TOM'S CABIN
By LUCIAN B. WATKINS
Crushed by the tooth of Time it falls!
Behold
Its venerable dust—a memory
In blood and tears and maddening agony!
About this sacred thing, in days of old,
What armies wheel, what war-red thunders
rolled,
Gladdening dumb souls who prayed for
Liberty!
What legions perished in its tragedy
Through murderous centuries of greed and
gold!
The sword has flashed its lightning and the
pen
Struck hard its power, but for an empty
name!
Label a prison "palace," even then,
"Tis but a tomb of saddened souls the

EPITAPH FOR A PROFITEER
Here lies a man whose whole career
On earth, was that of a profiteer.
And even at the end, he wasn't on the
level.
For he called in a preacher so he could
cheat the devil.
UNCLE JOEL SAYS—
Shakespeare said 'twan't nuthin' in uh name, but I have noticed dat no matttuh how bad uh man is suffirn' wd de backach, he always straight'ns up mighty sudn'd w'en you yell at 'im dat what he's 'bout tu set'oun on; thinkin' its uh rock, is uh hon-nit's nos'.

"$400. Army Shoes $325. BY NOW!" Wonder how much are they, "buy" now
"What Llars These Mortals Be" Shakespeare—revised.
Ever now and then Dame Fortune, smirking and laughing
While honest men shirking,
Hands a "pile" to some guy, who straight off tells a lie.
And declares that he'll still keep on working.
The other day the papers carried a report that some man—a preacher I believe—who has just returned from the South, stated that he was greatly surprised to find that religion in this section, is so rapidly on the decline, that millions of Southerners do not attend church at all.
Doubless, he has been under the impression that the lynchers—and especially the burning at the lynch—or Negroes, that he has been hearing about, was a part of Southern religious ceremony.
The ladies have the ballot, BUT, there's one thing lacking, yet
With some of them—I hear—and it keeps them in a fret;
And they'll not consider themselves Free, Until they with impunity.
Can stand upon the street corner, and light a cigarette.
It is said that there is an automobile in Baltimore, for every seven persons; if this is so, some of us are being cheated out of our share of joy-rides by the other six part-owners of OUR car.
"I see that President Wilson is reported to have expressed a desire to greet President-elect Harding on his arrival in Washington from Panama; that's rather unusual, don't you think?" I said, addressing Uncle Joel.
"What's unushul 'bout it?" he asked in reply.
"Well—a man who has rejected by a lady, doesn't usually desire to greet his rival on his return from a honeymooning trip."
"Naw—still—on de yuthah han! I has known uv men who was not only willin' but caguh tuh shake de han' av de man who has jis' mailed de 'oman dat it was unpossible fuh him tuh git uhlong wid; so you mus' 'membuh son dat deah's sometimes mo' dan one reasn—chen in uh bake shop puddin'"
The good Lord sure looks out for the poor, and does it on a permanent plan; for in the winter-wherever there's a nickle; there's always a peanut man.

What Each Had Already Was Quite Enough
"Oh, that I had a thousand lives; I'd live
them all for you," he said, as he clasped
her about.
"Oh, that I had a thousand feet, and they all were in this shoe" said her "dad" as he kicked him out.
What it is it girls and boys—
That has eyes but cannot see—
Has a tongue but cannot talk?
When, tied up is perfectly free—
Goes everywhere but cannot walk?

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.

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.

Thou wert sleeping, sweetly sleeping
On Thy mother's breast;
O did no fleeting thought of Calvary
Eer enter to disturb your peaceful
rest?
O Holy Virgin mother, as you soothed

In accents sweet and mild—
Ye angels, as you sang for joy—
Did your hearts not throb with pity
For this little child?

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.

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.

DANCY LEFT
$75,000 ESTATE.
Wife, Children and Mother-In-Law are Beneficiaries Under His Will.
Washington, D. C. Dec. 14—Under the will of John C. Dancy, former recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, dated November 27th 1920, and modified by a codicil 00 December 1st, 1920 an estate of over $75,000 is disposed of.
He gives $100 to the church extension department of Zion A. M. E. Church and $100 to Livingston College at Salisbury, N. C.
To his wife Florence Dancy is given an annuity of $1,500 for life. She is also to have premises 2139 L. St. northwest and 1530 Church street northwest. His daughter Lilian is to have a life annuity of $50 a
month and house 2114 Ward place northwest. House No. 2020 13th street northwest is given to his son Joseph and premises 2102 Ward place to his son John.
The bequest of $500 is made to his sister, Eller E. Body of Tarton, N. C., and $100 to his sister Martha. The sum of $100 each is to be paid to my mother-in-law — Coleman and Stevenson." The remaining estate is to be distributed among his three children.
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.

The betterment of the colored schools in the county, high schools for colored pupils wherever possible, for flat increase, in the salaries of teachers for colored schools, a stricter enforcement of the compulsory education law and more liberal school for the colored State Normal School at Bowne, were among things urged at the conference of white educators for the colleges hold last week, for training for teachers we received also.
The conference was made up of county school superintendents, Professor J. Walter Huffman, white, State Supervisor of Colored Schools, told of the need of colored Superintendent of Schools, and Professor Samuel M. North, Supervisor of High School, was among those who emphasized the fact that the chancellors and on the schools be advised.
T increase in salaries recommended for the colored teachers is proportional to that urged for whites, thus continuing the policy of inequality between the races. The committee developed the fact that there are six accredited high schools for Colored students in counties located as follows: Salisbury, Cambridge, Amosupont, Cumberland, Frederick and Eaton. A high school has been established at Pomona and instructed in high school programs given at Haverford and Eton.

Hoop skirts were worn by those who first asked the druggist for, and insisted on having, the genuine Golden Medical Discovery put up by Dr. Pierce over fifty years ago. Dress has changed very much since then! But Dr. Pierce's medicines contain the same dependable ingredients. They are standard today just as they were fifty years ago. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the stomach and blood cannot be surpassed by any roundly today.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak women has never been equalled for the distressing complaints incident to womanhood. What others say:
MONTROSE, W.VA.—"Last spring after having the flu I was very weak and nervous. I got one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and two bottles of Favorite Prescription and they helped me so much. I am sixty-seven years old and did lots of work last summer and am doing my house-work and washing now for four in family."—MRS. L. R. WILMOTH, R. F. D. 2.

The funeral was in the St. Mary's Cemetery. John H. Toddin had charge of the funeral arrangements.
Dorothy was cut to death while sitting in the near-bear saloon of George Hyman, white, 104 W. Hill stared. According to witnesses, he entered the place and proceeded to the table where his wife and another woman sat. 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. Hughes street; Samuel Prisco, 1303 Riggs ave. Oddie Hall, 504 Patapsco street, Brooklyn, and James Rouzer, of the same address.
The girl was 16 years of age and considered very attractive. She and the man were married about a year ago. He is an ex-soldier and of good appearance. Both were born in Virginia. The girl was Wright, was prostrated by the murder, a physician had to be summoned. The mother and couple lived at 1494 S. Entaw street.
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.

"Roy, I'm going to hey the bestest Christmas this year that I even had. I saved up in five of them Christmas Clubs and now I am spending the money. Great thing, eh?"
"You put your money in the white folks' banks, didn't you," the reporter asked.
"No," O. T. thundered, making the reporter do a lively two step for fear of bodily injury. "I ain't afforded to put my money in the culled folks' banks, and wish that all would do so. They must be safe, for you see I am spending the money. I am only sorry that I hey to come down here to shop, instead of going to some stores run by the race."
"How did you like your trip to Washington?" the reporter asked.
"The only sad thing about it wuz that my old friend John Dancy died." he answered. "I knew John years ago when we wuz playing politics together. I saw President-elect Harding and had a talk with Senator France about his African proposition. I guess his idea pleases Marcus Garvey."
"Well. I suppose you are going to give the reporters something for Christmas when asked."
"Do you think I ought to considering the way you have been peskying me all the year?" I ought to give you some pies. Well, take this seegar, said Old Timer as he and his packages went up the street together.

Pittsburgh Cop And Former Baltimore Boy Lands His Prisoner And Gocs To Hospital
Pittsburgh, Pa. Dec. 16—Rufus Pinckney, ex-sergeant of the Old First Separate Company and winner of the French War Cross, got into another battle the other day and emerged victorious.
Sergeant Pinckney who is now on a local force, with one arm cut from wrist to the elbow, and a cut on his forehead, reported at the Peffn Ave Police Station, handed over two prisoners to the desk sargent and then fainted dead away.
He was taken to the West Penn Hospital, where he was found to be in a serious condition from the loss of blood.
K. Kittilä of 2015½ Mulberry way and Aleck Ruev, a boarder at that address, were arrested by Patrolman Pinckney in the house at 8:46 o'clock for fighting. In an effort to get away Ruev is alleged to have pushed Pinckney through a window cutting the latter's arm and forehead.
For bravery while on duty, Sargent Pickney is to be promoted to be plain clothes man. In a letter to the Afro-American, Sargent Pinckney says, he regrets that Baltimore have not been able to get colored policemen yet.
